Surface Defect Inspector for Power Cables and Large ODs The Surface Inspector is the most thorough method of detecting surface flaws available. The system also provides dimensional measurements simplifying the QA process and allowing the operator to see the bulge or neck-down simultaneously. Because it is camera based, defects that are on the surface will be detected; unlike a spark tester which require defects to be exposed to the core. With the Surface Inspector you can be sure the product you are sending to your customers is without any surface defects. Image Feedback and QA Improvements The Surface Inspector provides the operator with up-tothe-second digital image feedback of the current jacket 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 where the defect is along the cable. This will result in reducing jacket defects before they result in scrapping of product or worse, customer complaints or recalls. Defect images are also saved, so they can be included in quality reports for internal or external use. Quality Assurance The Surface Inspector is designed for a 24/7, dirty, industrial environment in mind. The height adjustable aluminum extrusion frame allows for quick and accurate line height adjustments. A sliding rail at the base allows for lateral adjustments as well as for operators to slide the system out of the way so bulky cable joints can pass through. Covers and shields that are easy to clean prevent dust particles from entering the system.
