“The reliable detection of surface defects, inline at the press mouth, was a vision many years ago to improve the surface quality and to reduce scrap. CYRUS made this possible and it is a step into a new decade for the aluminium extrusion world. For a continuous improvement we need measured responses, which are not only dimensions and mechanical properties, but also the surface quality from order to order. We are now capable to compare the impact of different press parameters and die designs to maximize surface quality and minimize the surface quality related scrap. But next to this continuous improvement potential, CYRUS provides us with an intelligent alarm system warning the press operator immediately about the loss of quality, like f.e. Tearing, Blisters or Pick-ups. So, the decisions are taken faster at the press. Due to the use of a camera underneath the initial table our press operators are informed about any defect they hardly can detect by their eyes in a second. We are very happy with the CYRUS quality of detection and we do not want to miss this system anymore.”

”I would like to express my utmost satisfaction with the AI optical surface defect detection system purchased from DCUBE and InQuality which we recently installed at our aluminum extrusion press.
The performance of the system has exceeded our expectations, consistently identified and highlighted surface defects with remarkable precision, contributing significantly to our quality control efforts.
Its intuitive interface has streamlined our operators’ workflow, making it easy for them to navigate and interpret results efficiently. A proved versatile in handling various surface textures and finishes on aluminum has been demonstrated, showcasing its adaptability to our diverse product range.
I would like to extend my appreciation to D-CUBE team for their support during the implementation phase and their responsiveness to our specific requirements.
We are looking forward to a continued collaboration with D-CUBE-ASCONA & inQuality team.”
