Steel slab is a product of a continuous casting unit, which is converted into coils and sheets during cold and hot rolling processes. Due to some functional problems that arise in the melting and continuous casting processes, kinds of defects appear on the slab surfaces. Accordingly, slab surface monitoring and inspection is one of the most important tasks in the steelmaking unit. Ensuring the desired quality of manufactured slabs will be possible only with the correct and intelligent monitoring of slab surfaces.
Unfavorable location, very high temperature and very harsh and exhausting environmental conditions make it almost impossible to monitor the slab surfaces by human operators. Intelligent slab monitoring using digital imaging technology is a good alternative to operator inspection.
DORSA slab monitoring system, as an intelligent and automatic system, is capable to examine various faces of slabs with great precision and report any surface defects.
