IMPROVE YIELD WITH REAL-TIME INSPECTION OF EDGE QUALITY

Bad edge conditions on steel coils result in downgrading or re‐trimming that cost manufacturers millions of dollars. The Edge Tech Remote Inspection system allows detailed inspection of the trimmed edge on both sides of the strip immediately after the trimming operation is performed. Strip edge quality, knife wear and knife cracks can be seen, corrected and then checked to ensure that the problems have been eliminated
