Surface Defect Detection and Surface Inspection
For Wire and Cable products, Pipe and Conduit

The Surface Inspector is the only fiber optic cable surface defect detection tool that can
capture, analyze and judge every square millimeter of your product—cable jacket, pipe, tube, bar stock or water soluble tape. It is the most thorough method of detecting
surface defect flaws available. Its most compelling benefit is allowing you to be sure the product you are sending to your customers meets your high standards and is without any surface defects.
Reduced Surface Defects
The Surface Defect Inspector provides the operator with up-to-the-second digital image feedback of the current jacket, bar or water soluble tape quality on any
production line. This continuous stream of real time Surface Defect information – especially the failure images - allows the operator to isolate causes of jacket
imperfections and water soluble tape folds and improper cable coverage. This will result in reducing jacket defects before they result in scrapping of product or worse,
customer complaints or recalls.
Quality Assurance
Using the Surface Inspector, you can capture Surface Defect images of your printed cable, save the images to disk and print them out to include in your quality reporting
both internally and to your customers. The Surface Defect Detector display also makes it easy for engineering and production supervisors to document where the jacket has
defects and how the water soluble tape is being properly wrapped to the fiber optic cable.
