ANNEALING AND GALVANIZING FURNACES
A continuous galvanizing line (CGL) restores the mechanical properties of the cold rolled steel by heating the strip up to temperature then applying a metallic coating to it’s surface by dipping into a molten bath of Zinc/Aluminum. This improves the corrosion resistance of the steel strip. Using image analysis with the CANTY Ultratemp Camera and Intelligent machine learning software, the position of the strip on the rollers can be tracked to prevent process upsets such as strip tearing while also allowing for visual verification form the operator. Control signals are output to the DCS via 4-20mA, Modbus TCP/IP or OPC UA.
A continuous annealing line (CAL) is a specialized industrial process for heat-treating steel strip, modifying its microstructure and properties like hardness and ductility, often to improve its formability. It involves passing the steel strip through a furnace where it’s heated, soaked, and cooled under a controlled atmosphere.
CANTY High Temperature Cameras are ideal for demanding applications involving visual inspection or verification in extreme temperature environments. CANTY High Temperature Camera Systems feature a fused glass seal standard equipment with every model. This unique seal provides an impenetrable safety barrier to protect the camera electronics from the harsh process environment and preventing hazardous vapors from escaping into your plant.

CANTYVISION™ SOFTWARE
CANTYVISION™ Software is included with the purchase of any CANTY Vector Control Module (VCM). CANTYVISION™ Software is used for both viewing and analysis. The Level/Intensity/Color (LIC) module comes standard with all VCMs and can be used for various analysis. Real time monitoring and analysis can be done using the software. Video recording allows for video records and analysis at a later time. The software outputs the data in various formats. The customer can select the unit of measure the data outputs-in, as well as the type of file the data outputs to. CANTYVISION™ Software can output results to a database, OPC, 4-20mA or even a specific file location. More than one camera can be connected to a single VCM. The software can analyze on multiple applications at once. The software is easy to use and has a built-in help menu for easy access. Software is preset with ideal settings needs. Settings can easily be adjusted to accommodate customers.

LAB – SOLIDSIZER
The CANTY SolidSizer™ is a vision-based sensor used with the CANTY Vector System image processor for dry particle size measurement in a laboratory environment. The CantyVision™ Software accurately measures multiple aspects of the particles from area / perimeter / minor and major axis / etc. In comparison to a sieve which measures only minor axis the CantyVision™ software can correlate directly to a sieve so the customer does not have to change any QC documents. The SolidSizer™ can correlate within 2% of a sieve. A typical sieve analysis takes anywhere from 20-30 minutes including cleaning and setup for a 70-100 gram sample. On the SolidSizer™ that same sample takes less than 2 minutes. Also multiple screen distributions can be setup to accommodate multiple customers or areas in the process, hence eliminating the need for multiple runs on the same sand for different size distributions. After correlating to current methods of minor axis, customers find benefit in comparing minor axis to major axis and comparing shape factors. Reduce lab time and make sure production samples are not skipped over due to lack of sample time available!

SHOT PEENING
Shot peening is the process of strengthening a material by inducing a compressive stress across the surface. The size and shape of the shot is expected to be uniform; however, there is typically some variance from this ideal geometry. Characterizing and controlling particle size and shape distributions of shot media are fundamental to ensuring the success of the peening process. CANTY’s technical advances in dynamic imaging of particulate matter have enabled routine sampling and analysis of particle size and shape distributions. CANTY’s dynamic imaging is far superior to conventional “manual” measurement techniques.

MOLTEN GLASS LEVEL – HIGHTEMP™ SURVEILLANCE CAMERA
The CANTY Molten Glass Level system consists of a high temperature surveillance camera, mounted to view the surface of the molten glass through an opening in the wall. On the wall directly opposite the camera, a reference point is created, often by simply removing a brick from the wall, or boring a hole though it. The position of the reflection of this reference point on the surface of the glass relative to the fixed mount camera, is directly related to the molten glass level. CantyVision™ software is configured to track the position of this reflection with accuracy to 0.001” (0.025mm). A cross-hair is displayed on the operator screen image at all times, to allow the user to visually verify what point is begin tracked by the software. Control outputs are available to the DCS via OPC, 4-20mA and Modbus TCP/IP.
