Results of Using Laser Triangulation for Measuring Surface Defects in Long Products (Room 308)

06 May 19
10:00 AM - 10:30 AM

Tracks: Long Products

Accepted for profile measurement, laser triangulation technology is increasingly being used to detect surface defects. These defects can either be of dimensional nature or result from the rolling or casting process. This presentation will describe the initial results of a recent installation in a bar/wire rod mill. The presentation will also describe operative software and give examples of applications. The presentation will illustrate the potential of laser triangulation in comparison to other optical systems.
