Online measurement of strip and slit strip width, edge crack and hole detection

Our solution Better process stability & availability The EMG iCAM® system is based on the multi camera array technology and can be used in multiple strip processing lines for the measurement of strip width, slit strip width, edge cracks and holes with high precision. The high-precision measurement of of the strip and slit strip width, allows the exact control of the knife distances as well as the knife positions. In the process of strip manufacturing, the edge crack of the strip will cause accidents such as strip tearing or even production shutdown. Due to defects or any foreign materials...
