Robotic surface inspection adjacent or in a coil around a mandrel

A strip of metal entering or exiting a mill can be redirected about a roller so as to define an angled segment of the strip of metal, with the angled segment extending away from the roller and arranged at an angle relative to the roller. The angled segment can be connected with a coil that is rotate...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A strip of metal entering or exiting a mill can be redirected about a roller so as to define an angled segment of the strip of metal, with the angled segment extending away from the roller and arranged at an angle relative to the roller. The angled segment can be connected with a coil that is rotated about a mandrel such that a magnitude of the angle of the angled segment changes as the coil is enlarged or reduced by the rotating of the mandrel. A sensor of a surface inspection system can detect a characteristic of a surface of the strip of metal in the angled segment or in the coil. The sensor can be robotically moved to modify a distance and/or an orientation of the sensor of the surface inspection system relative to the surface.
