Surface roughness becomes more and more important and its on-line supervision comes into the focus. AMEPA offers the new generation of systems to allow the on-line and contact less measurement of the surface roughness values Ra, Rz and Rpc. It is the first system providing a measurement under 45° or 90° to the rolling direction - as requested by the norms as SEP 1940. Key features are independence of sheet surfaces, automatic calibration, very high measurement frequency of up to 20 hertz, provision of microscopic images of the sheet surface,

Manufacturer of NDT equipment, primarily ultrasonic and eddy current systems, to detect defects in strip, plate, rod, bar, wire, tube and billet to 2250°F at high speeds. Ultrasonic equipment to detect foreign particles in molten metal and measure the thickness and quality of refractory brick in the operating furnace from the outside. Ultrasonic immersion tanks for defect detection and metal cleanliness.

Automated on-line surface inspection equipment.

Specializes in providing real-time video of high temperature industrial processes such as welding or steelmaking. Proprietary electro-optic techniques provide video which is virtually free of any brightness or incandescence coming from the scene. When viewing hot steel, the glow is eliminated and surface defects on continuous cast or rolled products are revealed. When viewing arc welding, evidence of the welding arc is removed and details of molten pool and weld joint are easily seen. Small demonstration video clips are available for viewing on the above website.

LASOR/Systronics has answered the surface inspection neeeds of the metal industry. The EAGLE Vision System finds defects suchas: pinholes, scabes,laminations and other surface anomalies. The Advanced Defect Classification Software allows the operator to find similar defects. The system classifies them into categories based on characteristics. The system performs both one sided and two sided inspections for cold or holt rolled mills. Various sensors, laser or camber, or a combination can be used with the system to take advantage of optimum sensor technology.

Novacam Technologies is manufacturer of microcam-3D fiber-based profilometers used for NDT non-destructive testing, metrology, process control, roughness measurements, surface mapping and inspection. It is well suited for fast real-time continuous profilometry measurements. Due to large standoff distance and small probes it is build to work in inhospitable environments and restricted spaces. Profilometer is based on low coherence interferometry and provides micrometer precision. Measurements are not affected by the ambient lighting. With the same probe IR radiation from the hot steel can be captured and analyzed separately. Novacam also provides system integration, consulting and contract R&D for industrial applications.
