EMG iCAM®

Product catalog summary

Overview
The EMG iCAM® system by EMG Automation GmbH is a high-precision measurement solution for strip processing lines. It utilizes multi-camera array technology to measure strip width, slit strip width, detect edge cracks, and holes with high accuracy.

Specifications

Camera-based technology using a monochromatic CMOS chip.
Measurement range up to 2,250 mm with accuracy up to +/-0.1 mm.
Operating ambient temperature between +5 °C to +50 °C.
Power supply requirement: 110-240 VAC; 50/60 Hz.

Measuring Principle

Multi-camera detection unit positioned above the strip.
LED-based emitter unit located below the strip.
Standard distance of camera modules to strip: 300 mm; LED backlight unit: 200 mm.

Performance Features

Non-contact, high-precision measurement method.
High-speed data processing with FPGA technology.
Modular design adaptable to various production line requirements.
Small installation space with low maintenance costs.

Customer Benefits

Enhanced process stability and plant availability.
Optimized process and strip material quality.
Transparent incoming inspection and precise process control.
Reduction of total cost of ownership (TCO).

Applications

Suitable for all metal and non-metal surfaces with low gloss levels, including steel and aluminum.
Effective for strip and slit strip width measurement, edge crack, and hole detection.

Customer Challenges Addressed

Fast and accurate measurement for process control.
Exact detection of holes and edge cracks to minimize production risks.
Classification of defects by size and precise location information.

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 being...
