Vision King – Steel Billet and Slabs

Technology Description

The main objective is to identify defects and imperfections on the surface and edges of the steel, such as:

Scratches and
Cracks

Crack detected on the steel surface

Tears and
Mechanical Marks

Rupture on the steel surface

Flux Powder
Residue

Flux powder residue on the steel surface

Rolling
Defect

Rolling defect on the steel surface

Scale and
Oxidation

Rupture on the steel product surface

The Vision King computer vision system ensures quality in the steel industry, using advanced cameras and algorithms to automatically inspect hot or cold billets or slabs. The technology accurately detects subtle defects, invisible to the human eye, elevating quality control to a higher level of reliability
