Manually inspecting thousands of sheets of metal per day on multiple production lines running 24 hours a day presents a multitude of quality control challenges. An automated 3D inspection system, on the other hand, can keep up with the steady flow of product and provide quality inspections every time.
Electrolytic copper refining involves two primary components, a sheet of unrefined ore called an anode plate and a smooth, steel sheet called a mother blank. These components submerge into an electrolyte bath and an electrical charge deposits copper atoms from the anode plate onto the mother blank, forming sheets of refined copper. For the refining process to occur smoothly, the anode plate cannot have rough surfaces or edges and the mother blanks cannot feature any warping.
