Reduced Surface Defects

The medical tubing surface defect inspector provides the operator with a view of current surface images as well as the most recent surface defects with defect dimensions. This continuous stream of real time information – especially failure data – allows the operator to isolate the causes of surface imperfections. Identifying when and how a defect occurs allows your technical staff to reduce occurences of surface defects and prevent customer complaints and rejects.

Quality Assurance

The Surface Inspector will capture images of your tubing, 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 Surface 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.

The Medical Surface Inspector will catch any defects on the tubing before they reach your customers or fail in the field.
