SurfaceScope Pro - 100% surface inspection ensures 100% production quality
SurfaceScope Pro
With its monitoring opportunities, like controlling the width during production, it creates an alert to the operator or even machine stops when it detects deviations. Narrow design that allows flexible integration in space constrained areas.
Description
SurfaceScope Pro delivers automated 100% surface inspection for reliable quality assurance in tire production processes. Using high-resolution line-scan camera technology, the system detects defects such as holes, rubber inconsistencies, splice issues, and exposed wires in real time.
It continuously monitors the material and can trigger alarms or machine stops to prevent defective output. Thanks to its compact design and flexible integration, the system can be installed even in space-constrained environments. The result is a cost-efficient inspection system that ensures consistent product quality and stable production processes.
Tire building machine application
Single 8K grayscale line-scan cameras are used to detect holes in the liner as small as 0,5 mm in circumference, operating at maximum speeds of up to 48 m/min.
Cutting machine application
High-speed 4K color cameras detect holes, exposed wires, and alignment issues with a camera resolution of 0,12 mm. The working width ranges from 500 mm to 1.500 mm and can be covered using up to three cameras mounted side by side.
Machine integration
The system uses OPC protocol, connects through TCP Ethernet, and uses German KepServerEX software to communicate with the production line. It can support all common PLC device connections, and customers only need to provide data addresses, then the system can directly read and write data on the PLC.
