Aachen/Germany (euro adhoc) - 19 January 2007. Arcelor-Mittal will
employ Parsytec espresso SI surface inspection systems for several
hot strip mills in America and Europe. espresso SI was chosen for its
outstanding image quality, superior classification, best integration
and advanced services. The first of intended five systems has now
been ordered for the Burns Harbor (Indiana, USA) hot strip mill.

Arcelor-Mittal, the world’s largest steel maker, decided for Parsytec
hot mill inspection systems based on technical merit after a thorough
evaluation with several trial installations. The first of a total of
five systems has now been ordered for installation in Burns Harbor,
IN, USA.

The key features for this decision have been the espresso SI digital
cameras with unsurpassed image clarity, the fully Ethernet based
system architecture dramatically reducing maintenance efforts, the
fully capsulated sensor design minimizing integration effort, the new
classifier and imaging software boosting the recognition performance
as well as simplifying the quality management job.

With this order, Arcelor-Mittal recognizes Parsytec’s continued
innovation, advanced services and the experience from 60 hot mill
installations in the industry.
