Reduced Defects
The Wrap Defect Inspector provides the operator with a view of current surface images as well as the most recent defects with defect dimensions. This continuous stream of real time information – especially failure data – allows the operator to isolate the causes of wrapping imperfections, surface scratches, miss-wraps, peeling, tearing or water soluble tape folds. Identifying when and how a defect occurs allows your technical staff to reduce occurrences of surface defects and prevent customer complaints and rejects.
Quality Assurance
The Wrap Defect Inspector will capture images of your printed cable, save the images to disk and allow you to print them out to include in your quality reporting both internally and to your customers. The Wrap Defect Inspector’s display also makes it easy for engineering and production supervisors to examine the defect without having to see the defect itself. Defect locations are recorded together with the image of the defect allowing your operators to find and eliminate defects before they reach your customers or fail in the field.
