espresso SI - the ISRA VISION Parsytec surface inspection system
espresso by ISRA VISION Parsytec is the world's first complete surface inspection solution. It is easy to use and to configure - proven in more than 450 demanding installations.
As only supplier, ISRA VISION Parsytec provides the entire detection portfolio: sensors with diffuse and direct light illumination and both, matrix and line scan cameras. Arranged as bright field, dark field and bright dark field. Even more: espresso SI is the worldwide first system to apply GBit Ethernet camera technology, and espresso SI is the worldwide first inspection system to give access to all inspection results from everywhere with a standard internet browser.
ISRA VISION Parsytec's innovations in the field of surface inspection systems have resulted in a quantum leap towards an industry wide acceptance of this technology. Key to this success has been the introduction of a powerful surface analysis software that was capable to handle the variety of surface conditions and the special defect appearances at almost any line. ISRA VISION Parsytec's fundamentally new approach to surface inspection has attracted so many customers that the espresso inspection software is now the de facto standard in worldwide surface inspection software.
ISRA VISION Parsytec follows one core development philosophy: we want to gain competitive edge for our customers by providing them with leading-edge technology.
espresso SI follows this route:
- NEW: 100%-based on industrial standard components: yielding highest availability and drastically reducing maintenance efforts.
- NEW: Digital-camera technology with GBit Ethernet interface.
- NEW: Doubled maximum inspection speed.
- NEW: Best possible sensor combination (matrix and line scan in all variations) for all applications available.
- NEW: Access to all inspection data from everywhere via the internet.
All other suppliers limit their value to their customers by sticking to one special kind of camera technology. ISRA VISION Parsytec provides the entire portfolio: sensors with diffuse and directed light illumination and both, matrix and line scan cameras. Arranged as brightfield, darkfield, bright-darkfield or combined brighfield and darkfield. Based on our broad worldwide experience, we know today, which configuration fits best to the various production processes. Coping with the entire camera and illumination portfolio makes espresso SI simply strong.
The association with surface inspection often is: a bulky inspection beam, a standard junction box and PC cabinets. espresso SI is different. The inspection beam is robust and tall. It is connected with a junction box. Simply plug in an Ethernet cable and connect it to any server in your works. Here, the ISRA VISION Parsytec software is installed and that's it. From here, you can connect as many terminals as you need within your own LAN.
espresso SI follows a software-based approach. This enables ISRA VISION Parsytec to integrate all its experience in line-specific presettings, providing an integration configurator, and commissioning wizards. With this approach, ISRA VISION Parsytec guarantees to deliver the relevant defects only a few days after installation. But the sex of software does not stop at fast commissioning. It also delivers fast access to all inspection and defect data. Of course, via the web. At any time and any place you need. Welcome to tomorrow.
Different production environments and demanding applications increase the requirements for an inspection system: it must be flexible - at low total cost of ownership, only few maintenance efforts and the shortest possible time span until actual production use. ISRA VISION Parsytec's espresso SI fulfils all these expectations.
Benefits of Surface Inspection
Improved quality procedures were important to unleash the economic potential of surface inspection. Our customers have created very effective processes to make use of the results of a surface inspection system. Controlling surface quality is not a cost factor, it adds to a steel makers profitability. Case studies have proven returns of more then 1 Mio € per year. More ...
Using Surface Inspection
Using surface inspection may include decisions for the individual coil, for the downstream processing, for the actual process and the line. ISRA VISION Parsytec's HTS product line offers a unique range of software components for a comprehensive assessment of the surface quality. Daily operations are supported with alarm functions, reports and surface quality displays. Management decisions are supported with modules to analyze entire production lots and correlate surface quality results with any other data.
Defect Recognition Capabilities
Defects never look the same. They change from steel to steel and from line to line. Every SIS has to learn the defects to be recognized. ISRA VISION Parsytec has changed this. The wealth of experience gained in more than 230 demanding projects in the Metals industry, reviewing millions of defect images has led to the introduction of pre-configured systems, with ready-to-use recognition capabilities based on ISRA VISION Parsytec's line specific defect catalogs and the InstantClassifier™ software technology. In case that no pre-configuration is offered yet, a generic set-up can be chosen.
