Prior entering continuous processing lines such as tinning or annealing lines, metal strips are joined together by a weld seam forming an endless strip that runs continuously.
A single coil may contain a number of welds which should be indicated clearly, usually by punching of a hole before the weld seam. Detecting a hole is then always connected with the fact that a weld seam follows after this hole at a specific distance. This detection allows slowing down or stopping the line in case of joined sheets with different widths or thicknesses or grades; to prevent a coiling/uncoiling breakout of the strip leading to damages and injuries.
Our SIRRAH® sensor is working with a specific infrared light emitter to detect punched hole continuously and permanently at a high speed.
