Vision King – Coiled Steel & Blanks

Technology Description

The primary objective is to identify defects and imperfections on steel surfaces, such as:

Cracks

Crack on the coiled steel surface

Seam Marks

Seam mark on the coiled steel surface

Scratches

Scratch on the coiled steel surface

Roll Marks

Roll mark on the coiled steel surface

Striations

Streaks on the coiled steel surface

Computer vision applied to the surface inspection of long steel products has become an essential solution for ensuring quality in automotive body manufacturing processes. Vision King utilizes cameras and image processing algorithms to detect defects, irregularities, and specific surface characteristics of steel that are difficult to identify with the naked eye.
