Steel quality optimized 3-D technology
An innovative method for the quality inspection of hot surfaces is used on an industrial level for the first time: A major Turkish steel producer is optimizing the production of high speed-compatible rails with the method that has been developed in Austria. The method is based on laser light section technology, which facilitates the non-contact examination of surfaces that are still hot. Hence defects in the surface structure can be detected at an early point of time in the production process. The technology works in real time and delivers a whole range of advantages: cost reduction, rationalization, quality improvement as well as improved work safety and clear-cut documentation. The DIRIS 3D HOT method was developed by the Austrian company NextSense and is sold worldwide.
