High-Efficiency Wire Rod Diameter Measurements With Equipment Already in Industrial Use for Surface Defects Detection

In this paper, we will record the combined ECT (eddy current testing) and Vision Technologies and then describe a new functionality for online measurement profile of Hot Rolled Long Products based on edge detection with ultra-high-speed cameras. Machine learning algorithms are used to give the system high accuracy and reliability. We will present the industrial results obtained in this field, bringing maintenance savings, physical space reduction and nose and tail coil trimming optimization possibilities thanks to the Multipurpose Equipment producing Profile Measurement without forgetting Valuable Surface Defects Detection Information in real time.
