Hawk Eye Vision SystemS

Strip defect detection for cold mills and process lines.

Camera-based strip-quality vision that finds and classifies surface defects, edge cracks and pinholes, in real time. Hawk Eye targets product quality and defect detection, distinct from the non-contact dimensional measurement of the Eagle Eye platform.

Capabilities

What Hawk Eye does.

Edge Crack Detection

Detects and classifies edge cracks with real-time defect imaging along the full strip length.

Pinhole Detection

Finds pinholes in foil and thin-gauge product where light transmission reveals through-holes.

Real-Time Imaging & Archiving

Captures and archives defect images per coil for traceability, review, and quality reporting.

Classification & Reporting

Classifies defects by type and location so operators and Level 2 systems can act on them.

Integration

Shared hardware, separate purpose.

Hawk Eye strip-quality vision uses the same rugged camera hardware as the Eagle Eye cold mill systems (CM3100 and CM3200), so surface inspection can run on the same platform with shared server and L1/L2 integration. Eagle Eye measures dimensions; Hawk Eye inspects quality.
