Reduced Surface Defects
The Surface Inspector provides the operator with up-to-the-second digital image feedback of your flat product quality on any production line. This continuous stream of real time information -especially the failure images- allows the operator to isolate causes of jacket imperfections and water soluble tape folds. This result allows you to identify the causes of surface defects and prevents customer complaints or rejects.
Quality Assurance
Using the Surface Inspector, you can capture images of your product, save the images to disk and print them out to include in your quality reporting both internally and to your customers. The Surface Inspector’s display also makes it easy for engineering and production supervisors to examine the defect. Defect locations can also be recorded, this will allow for further analysis of the defects later on.
