DEFECTOVIEW HS

High-speed photography for documentation of quality in wire-rolling mills

More information without having to interpret signals. The newly developed DEFECTOVIEW HS can be used in combination with the well-known DEFECTOMAT DA and the corresponding DEFECTOTHERM coils. It enhances the abstract eddy current signals of the detected  defects with easy-to-interpret images.

Triggered by the defect signals from the eddy current sensor, images of the defects are captured and stored for quality documentation. Even at the highest production speeds, the discovered defects are still imaged in a high qualityl. Four high-speed cameras, along with an optimized LED illumination, ensures that 360° of the wire surface can be covered.

As soon as the wire has been rolled, you can visually review and evaluate the detected flaws. This always allows you to draw conclusions - at a very early stage - about potential causes of the defects and, if necessary, take targeted interventions in the process: Directly compare the image in the ImageViewer against the associated eddy current test data.
