Bare Wire Surface Inspection

The SI3100-BW is a specially designed version of the SI3100 for the metal industry. This model compensates for highly reflective surfaces using a custom lighting array. The Surface Inspector thoroughly inspects the entire surface area of your bare wire, metal extrusion, or billet product to uncover any surface flaws. The unit captures, analyzes, and records every flaw to ensure your product is defect-free to meet customer and production standards.

How does the SI3100-BW handle the reflectiveness of bare metal?

The SI3100-BW uses a custom lighting array specifically designed to compensate for the high reflectivity of bare metal surfaces, allowing full surface coverage without glare interfering with defect detection.

Can Taymer measure length as well as inspect surface quality on metal wire?

Yes — the LR600 provides high-accuracy, continuous cable length measurement alongside Taymer’s surface and braid inspection systems for metal wire production lines.

Does Taymer only make inspection equipment for metal, or other materials too?

Taymer also manufactures inline inspection systems for wire and cable, pipe and tube, 3D printer filament, medical tubing and devices, fiber, and packaging applications, in addition to metal.
