Infrared thermography as a new method for quality control of sheet metal parts in the press shop
نویسندگان
چکیده
Active dynamic thermography was proved to be a new alternative for crack detection. To achieve zero failure sheet metal production in the press shop, this method was investigated for different steel components, which were directly collected from series production. And the cracks in the presented specimens differ in length and in depth, and a series study on these surface cracks is executed. The crack detection capabilities of active thermography with two different excitation sources were compared: optical and inductive excited thermography. Results of experiments obtained by these two techniques are showed and compared with each other. Opportunities of applying these methods in press shop are discussed. & 2012 Politechnika Wrocławska.

Sheet-metal parts typically follow a unidirectional flow in the sheet-metal shop. In the first cutting stage, a large sheet is cut to different unfolded parts with a laser cutting machine. To avoid waste material different parts are combined on a sheet. Next, the 2D parts are transformed to 3D products with air bending. In this bending stage, timeconsuming set-ups between production layouts are...
