  • Automated IR System for thermographic crack detection uses inductive heating of steel billets under inspection
  • Cracks disturbs a current flaw and generate changes in a temperature profile in a crack area
  • Changes of temperature are visualized using infrared cameras

DIO 4000 IR system

  • STARMANS developed already before 6 years its 1. generation of IR system DIO 4000 for surface testing of round and sguare hot-rolled steel billets.
  • In the present time is available already the 2. generation of IR system DIO 4000, which is more advanced.
  • Satisfied customers use the DIO 4000 system in continuous shifts already for 5 years
