Tracking and Tracing Steel Billets with Hermary's 3D Machine Vision

Hermary’s SL-1880 was chosen to provide 3D vision to the robotic billet tagging application. The robot welds identification tags directly to the hot steel billets at 430°C. The billet tags contain all necessary information used for tracking the billet through the manufacturing process. Tags are applied to the billets’ ends, where suitable locations for affixing are identified based on the scanner’s point cloud data.
