Abstract During hot rolling of laminated seamless tubes, surface marks and other defects may occur sporadically due to wear of the roll stands. This article describes a new automatic inspection technology for surface defects developed for a seamless tube manufacturer in Spain. The automated inspection system is installed at the exit of the push bench, just where the defects originate. Under harsh environmental conditions due to dirt, vapour and high temperatures, the systems must be capable of inspecting the whole surface of the tubes in real time.
