Cracks, scratches and longitudinal defects on flat strip surfaces.

The strip surface

The elongated surface may have local marks or defects extending along the product. Cracks and scratches require assessment of their respective features on the strip.

The checks

Imago searches the strip surface for cracks and inspects scratches. A dedicated check covers longitudinal defects, assessing anomalies that extend along the material.
