On-Line
Detection, Identification, and Visualization of Metal Defects
Smart
View Metals has become the most trusted surface inspection
system worldwide. With more installations on more lines than any
surface inspection system ever, Smart View is relied upon around the
world by virtually every major flat rolled products producer. For
many of them, Smart View is the de-facto standard in on-line defect
detection and identification.
The
Smart View system detects irregularities or defects on the surface of
the metal strip. Smart View then identifies each defect using our
patented Smart Learn® Multi-Step Classifier. The defect image is
displayed for the operator to see. All information and images are
available in real time and can be stored in our database for future
use. Reports can be created and formatted to fit the needs of every
mill.
Our
Value
Smart
View provides more value to users than any other surface inspection
system.
- Improve product quality
- Maximize yield
- Detect, identify, and visualize defects before value added processes
- Reduce the need for manual inspections
- Provide the reports you need in a form you can use
We
have been successfully inspecting metals surfaces for two decades. In
fact, Smart View systems inspect over 1 billion square meters of
metal every day! We have metals customers on all continents and more
metals customers worldwide than anyone else in the industry. More
companies guarantee their quality with Smart View systems than any
other surface inspection system.
Our
Detection
The Smart
View Metals system is highly modular, allowing the use of
appropriate technology for your application using standard system
components. We install appropriate light and camera configurations
for each line. Some allow strip inspection while going over a roller
and others allow inspection on the unsupported strip. Cognex offers
the most comprehensive selection of lighting solutions in the
industry, applying collimated, diffuse, or side lighting depending on
your application needs. For example the use of collimated light
allows us to employ our exclusive synchronized view technology with
two sets of cameras looking into the surface from different angles.
In addition, our collection of thresholding algorithms can be
optimized for your particular surface and requirements, all
performing on-line in real time. You never have to wait for Smart
view results.
Our
Classification
The
Smart Learn® Multi-Step Classifier is a patented classification tool
set for Smart View surface inspection systems. Smart Learn provides
the flexibility to implement classification schemes tailored to your
particular process and requirements. The advanced Smart Learn
architecture allows the use of various learning classifiers.
Combining automatic learning classification with expert knowledge,
Smart Learn maximizes the potential of your inspection system for
improved product quality, higher production yield, and decreased
customer returns.
Our
Through-Process Visibility
The
Windows®-based Smart
View Metals system, connected to your mill network, provides
information for mill-wide users, from the manufacturing floor to the
front office. Smart
View Metals uses industry standards like OPC and ODBC to
ensure easy integration with other plant business, production, and
quality systems. A real-time operator interface shows current
inspection results on-line all the time. The Open Network Inspection
Viewer, distributed across the plant network, enables any user to
view current or historical inspection results remotely from any step
in production from hot mill to the finishing line.
Smart
View Can Do More
Smart
View users can easily upgrade their system with powerful capabilities
that are not available anywhere else.
Our
Surface Quality Monitoring software automatically measures and
reports the surface quality characteristics of the coil in real time.
For the first time you can have a measurement of overall surface
properties such as spangle, cloudiness, roll chatter marks, or
surface roughness. It can even predict post-processing properties of
the product when it is being produced.
Smart
View Streaming Video can combine defect detection with full-width
video recording of the strip. Watch in real time or go back and
replay any archived coil to virtually inspect the strip. All this is
done with standard Smart View cameras and lighting.
