Specialized solution for high-temperature, high-speed lines… Enhances accuracy of surface defect detection and overall process efficiency.
A new “custom vision inspection lighting solution for steel facilities (made-to-order / special-purpose lighting)” has been introduced to support high-speed, high-precision quality inspection in steel environments.
This solution is a dedicated inspection light designed to work with machine vision cameras, aiming to detect fine surface defects such as scratches, indentations, pinholes, and coating irregularities at high speed in various steel facility processes, including both hot and cold operations.
The newly introduced vision inspection lighting has the following key features:
High-Speed Line Support with Strobe and Line Lighting
For steel strip and coil lines moving at several meters per second, the system adopts high-intensity strobe and line lighting designed to provide sufficient illuminance even with very short exposure times.
This configuration minimizes motion blur and helps machine vision cameras acquire reliable defect data, even on fast-moving surfaces.
Industrial-Grade Design for High Temperature, Dust, and Vibration
Steel facilities present a demanding environment characterized by high temperatures, scale (oxide), dust, and vibration.
The vision inspection lighting is engineered for these conditions with enhanced dustproof/waterproof performance (IP rating), thermal management, and improved durability.
As a result, it can provide a stable lighting environment even in steel processes that require long-term continuous operation.
Custom-Made to Match Specific Inspection Requirements
Since each inspection line has different conditions and targets, the system is offered as a fully customized, project-based solution, optimizing:
- Lighting form factor (line type, bar type, area type, dark-field type, etc.)
- Output and illuminance distribution
- Color temperature and special wavelength options
- Installation angle and mounting structures
This customization approach enables the creation of steel-specific inspection environments that are difficult or impossible to achieve with general-purpose lighting.
Optimized Integration with AI and Machine Vision Inspection Systems
The solution also accounts for integration with AI-based surface inspection systems, which are spreading rapidly across the steel industry.
Long-term stability, minimized flicker, and control-signal interfaces are all designed with a focus on compatibility and performance with machine vision cameras and inspection software.
In this way, lighting, cameras, and algorithms work together as a single, integrated inspection platform.
A technical representative commented,
“In steel facilities, lighting is no longer just about brightness – it has become the key factor that determines data quality.
Rugged, environment-specific vision inspection lighting can help reliably detect defects that conventional visual checks or general lighting often miss.”
Another industry insider added,
“This custom vision inspection lighting for steel facilities is engineered line-by-line so that the initial investment may be higher than standard lighting.
However, when you factor in reduced defect rates, shorter downtime, lower inspection workload, and fewer customer claims, it represents a desirable upgrade option for companies involved in steel-related operations.”
Currently, the adoption of vision inspection lighting is being considered for a wide range of applications, including hot rolling lines, cold-rolled steel surface inspection lines, coil exterior inspection stations, and slitting/cutting processes.
In the future, this solution is expected to play an increasingly important role as a key component of integrated inspection platforms that combine automation, smart factory systems, and AI-based vision solutions.
