The Surface Inspector (SI 4200) is the only 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 flaws available. With
Taymer's Surface Inspector, you can be sure the product going to your customers meets your high standards and is without surface defects.
Reduced Surface Defects
The Surface 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 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 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 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.
The Surface Inspector will catch defects on the wires before they reach your customers or fail in the field.
