Copper surface scanning
The final physical quality of cathode, including cathode condition, is inspected visually by different operators with shared duty of efficiently operating the machinery.
With customer requirements increasing towards a more systematic proof of cathode copper quality, it is of the utmost importance that we begin to utilize a more advance system approach.
