Thyssenkrupp Steel Europe GmbH manufactures heavy plate of the highest quality ranging from quarto and strip plate for various fields of use to customised steels. Its product portfolio extends from general structural to shipbuilding steels. Heavy plates for Yellow Goods, construction machines of all kind, such as excavators and dumpers, as well as machines for crane construction, are used in environments where highest standards of components are required. The quality of their surfaces and product properties play a decisive role in customer satisfaction. Customers are placing increasingly stricter and documented demands on the quality of the material. As a reliable supplier, one then wants to supply heavy plates that are flat and free of blisters or other inclusions. Else, it would inevitably lead to problems and high costs. The surface inspection system “surcon X-3Dvision” can help to avoid this trouble.Thyssenkrupp Steel Europe GmbH uses surcon X-3Dvision in a blasting plant in Duisburg Hüttenheim to inspect the top and bottom sides of blasted plates for defects. Automatic detection and classification of relevant defects, their position and geometric data are guaranteed.

It is not that long ago that a large corporation recalled chocolate bars from its production. The reason for this – the somewhat unappetising idea of foreign particles in the product. It can sometimes happen in the manufacturing process, for example, that metal or plastic parts come loose and get into the food product. Many manufacturers, therefore, try to find foreign particles before the product leaves the factory. For this, the products are X-rayed in their packaging. A software program then evaluates the visual images and detects unwanted objects automatically. In this way, food products that are not up to scratch can be filtered out during the production process. IMS have been developing and manufacturing X-ray generators, control units and complete systems since 2001. IMS X-ray systems are mainly found in measuring instruments for the steel and non-ferrous metal industries – but the fields of application for X-ray systems are wide and varied: non-destructive inspection for foreign particles is useful not only for food products, but also for, for example, wheel rims and tyres. IMS technology is used in microstructure technology to inspect finished circuit boards or small castings. We also offer special solutions for the field of medical technology, to […]

NEWSLETTER FROM THE WORLD MARKET LEADER IN MEASURING SYSTEMS IMS har startat ett nyhetsbrev som heter IMS Smart. Där finns bra tips för dig som på något sätt ansvarar för att producerade plåt- och bandprodukter håller rätt materialegenskaper som ex.vis. tjocklek / dimensioner / ytkvalité / planhet. IMS Smart kommer ut c:a 5 gånger/år. Vill du också ha IMS Smart, så fyll bara i formuläret under “Kontakt”!
