Abstract
The iLux lighting systems for visual surface inspection are typically mounted inside the inspection cabin and do separate illuminations for horizontal pass for top and bottom side as well as for the vertical pass from both sides. Every system can be customized to strip width and the space available. The iLux lighting system utilizes parallel beams of light by use of lamps with reflectors and patented light sails based on reflecting lamellas to allow for an increase in the detection of defects exposed during stoning and evaluation of the defects detected by the automatic inspection system. The indirect and directed light allows for superior image quality at a lower light intensity which in turn improves inspector performance by upward of 30%. Defect detection is paramount for steel producers if they provide galvanized steel for exposed automotive use and must as such produce top quality steel. iLux provides the best light for the human eye and the operators can do their work without being confused or blended by direct reflections on the material like from standard illumination by fluorescent tubes. Visual surface inspection is an important element in all production processes where surface quality is of vital interest. Not light intensity is important but directed and glare free illumination for easy defect detection. Lighting system has to be designed and optimized for the properties of the human eye and the different material qualities.
