The Challenge:
Indeed, a common issue among almost all Aluminum extrusion companies is the need to reduce scrap production due to surface quality as early as possible during the extrusion process!
Our Solutions:
Promex CYRUS from ASCONA & D-CUBE is an innovative machine vision solution that uses Artificial Intelligence to identify defects and recurring defect patterns in real-time. Moreover, the system triggers smart alerts to the press operators on a 24/7/365 basis.
Promex CYRUS identifies, in real-time (less than 50msec) and with high accuracy, the following defects during the extrusion process:
- Blisters,
- Dents,
- Scratches,
- Pickups
- Rough surface.
Promex CYRUS records the defect localization map and saves the history record per meter and per runout, for all extrusions, to a common data repository. Big data analytics allow intelligence reporting while enabling yield optimization.
