Please, check out the enclosed technical article “Automatic Roll Mark Detector Improves Cold Rolling Mill Performance” for more information on the winning concept.

Naturally we are very pleased about winning the award. And I am especially happy for all our employees and our co-development partner AM Global Research and Development. It has required commitment and cross-scientific work over many years to make the once impossible to possible. “Still remember the very beginning of the project, and the famous words of one of the seniors of ArcelorMittal: “You guys are crazy! Are you implementing an optical method to inspect roll marks!? They are not even visible for a human eye”. And yes, we did it!”  Says Mr. Pyörret, the product manager of the new roll mark detector.

In 2006-2007 SRI delivered a total of 6 Detmaster pinhole detectors to Tata Steel Ijmuiden. This year Ijmuiden will add another Detmaster MPH system to their Detmaster pinhole detector fleet, as they build new lines to enlarge their portfolio of packaging steels products. Tata Ijmuiden is a major steel producer in Europe and also one of the largest packaging steel producers.

The new Detmaster MPH system will be implemented on a brand new polymeric line. The line is delivered by RDI Fagor, who is also the contractor for SRI. The new Detmaster MPH1400 pinhole detection systems expected installation is in early 2017.

Tata Ijmuiden chose again several popular system options including the roll-out function, ISO9001 compliant verification disc function and KIS test tool option. All based on their needs and positive 10 year user experience with Detmaster pinhole detectors. These options have been found very useful and increasing the user value of the system.

TataSteel has now increased the total number of Detmaster MPH pinhole systems they have to 20 systems!

Before the end of last quarter of 2012, SR-Instruments was awarded some repeat orders by it’s existing customers.

SR-Instruments will deliver and commission a Detmaster MPH2000 pinhole detection system to Ternium Mexico Pesqueria in connection to their new Tension Leveling Line investment. Detmaster will be an integrated part of this new line, which will be delivered by FAGOR – RDI Met., S.L. Spain.

Altos Hornos de México S.A.B. de C.V. in Mexico added another Detmaster pinhole detector system to their Detmaster inspection system fleet. A new Detmaster MPH1500 will be installed to their Preparation Line #1.

Also Ton Yi from Taiwan awarded SR-Instruments Oy with two more Detmaster MPH contracts. The units will be installed to their Electrolytic Tin Plating Line (MPH 1200) and Continuous Annealing Line (MPH 1500) during 2013.

We are very happy and proud to announce that all of these contracts were contributed by positive user experiences with already running Detmaster systems in the companies.

Erdemir Works in Eregli, Turkey has recently acquired SR-Instruments Oy’s Detmaster 1300 MPH Pinhole Detection System for Electrolytic Tin Plating Line to replace an obsolete pinhole gauge. The concerned Detmaster MPH system is able to simultaneously detect tiny edge cracks and pinholes from size 5 um up to large holes. With these features Detmaster MPH system guarantees the efficiency and the quality assurance at the Electrolytic Tin Plating Line of Erdemir Works.

SR-Instruments is delivering two new Detmaster MPH pinhole detection systems to CSN’s Volta Redonda Works in Brazil. The concerned Detmaster MPH systems will be installed on Cut-to-length Line No. 12 as well as on Recoiling and Cutting Line. Detmaster MPH systems are able to detect tiny edge cracks and pinholes from size 10 um up to large holes. SR-Instruments has supplied previously to CSN’s Volta Redonda Works 3 Detmaster MPH systems increasing the number of the equipment now at the works to 5 pieces.
