FLASH-BUTT WELDS IN PICKLE LINES (EMAT)

TEMATE SI-CJ is an automated system for volumetric inspection of flash-butt welds in steel mills. Flash-butt welders are installed at the beginning of the pickle line to weld the end of one coil with the beginning of the next one. TEMATE SI-CJ is the only system for automated, volumetric Flash-Butt Weld Inspection in steel mills and can be adapted to fit any welder.

Features

• Non-contact EMAT technique for real-time flash weld monitoring.
• In-line & fully automated.
• Detects internal voids, laps, misaligns and poor trim quality.
• Inspects all kinds of steel, including TRIP, Dual-Phase and all HSS grades.
• Self-calibrated sensor. No need for teaching period or regular calibrations.
• Inspects while trimming with no additional cycle time (Taylor Winfield & Miebach).
• Optional weld monitoring system (by Innerspec and IBA).
• Proven system with over 25 installations around the world, and endorsed by the major welder manufacturers.
• Average payback of less than six months by eliminating inspection cycle time, reducing/eliminating breaks and allowing increases in production speed.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
