The new system is integrated into the BUP sheet metal forming testing machine and automatically detects through cracks in real time. The exact moment when a through-crack forms is critical. This is where the new application comes in: A neural network detects cracks during the test.   <\/h3>\n<p>Unlike traditional image processing methods, this does not require manual tuning of material-specific parameters. Image processing takes approximately 50 ms per image on a standard inspection computer; an additional GPU is not required. The AI was trained using more than 657,000 images from approximately 2,700 samples. Crack annotations comply with ISO 16630.   <\/p>\n<p>Web:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.zwickroell.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.zwickroell.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">Zwick-Roell is expanding the hole expansion test according to ISO 16630 to include AI-based crack detection.
