PolySHAPE

Hot billets dimensional control system

System description

PolySHAPE is an advanced 3D vision system designed for the automatic dimensional inspection of Beam Blanks directly in the production process. By combining 3D laser scanning with thermal imaging, the system generates a temperature-compensated point cloud, enabling highly accurate dimensional measurements even on hot products.
Each scanned point contains both geometric and temperature information, allowing the software to compensate for thermal expansion and provide reliable measurements in real production conditions.
PolySHAPE enables steel producers to perform real-time, temperature-compensated dimensional quality control, ensuring every Beam Blank meets specification before downstream processing while significantly improving production efficiency and product consistency.
