SMASH: ground-breaking All-in-One solution covering
                defect detection, width measurement, quality improvement and data analysis


SMASH scans metal surfaces faster and better than competitive systems ... Yet SMASH keeps it simple. Highest resolution resulting in crystal clear defect images allows optimum detection and classification. The review tools help to easily analyze defect data and to optimize the production process. The Data Mining tool is anecessity for process improvement. It quickly spots the process trend and offers additional statistical information.

Integration into the production environment can be done under the smallest space restraints. The use of the system maximizes the benefits at all relevant process stages from:

∙ Hot Rolling ∙ Tempering ∙ Slitting & Finishing

∙ Pickling ∙ Galvanizing

∙ Cold Rolling ∙ Tinning

∙ Annealing ∙ Organic Coating

The SMASH system delivers validated defect data and genuine real-time defect detection prevents a loss of data, resulting in immediate detection of all recurring typical defects:

∙ Holes ∙ Stains ∙ Scratches ∙ Shells

∙ Pinch Marks ∙ Wrinkles ∙ Seams ∙ Ptick-ups

∙ Dents ∙ Slivers ∙ Roll Marks ∙ Repeating defects

∙ Edge Cracks ∙ Scale Defects ∙ Slip Marks ∙ Laminations

Defect detection is just the first step - precise and reliable classification the key. The QUICKTEACH advanced classification module is a powerful tool for real-time online classification. QUICKTEACH learns the features of each defect by viewing the defect and is trained in the shortest possible time. The teaching process occurs real-time during inspection.
