SI4100 – LP

Surface Defect Inspector with Cameras and Laser for Profiles

The SI4100-LP will capture, analyze, and judge every square millimeter of your product with both cameras and lasers. It is the most thorough method of detecting surface flaws available. The SI4100-LP system provides pictures of your profile as well as laser-accurate dimensional measurements of selected features. Simplify the QA process and allow your operator to see defects during your run. With the Surface Inspector, you can be sure the product you are sending to your customers is without defects and according to your company standards.

Image Feedback and QA Improvements

The SI4100-LP provides the operator with up-to the-second digital image feedback of the current product surface and dimensions on any production line. This continuous stream of real-time information allows the operator to isolate causes and locations of the imperfections on the product. This will result in reducing defects and in-turn reducing the scrapping of product, customer complaints and recalls. Defect images are also saved, so they can be included in quality reports for internal or external use.

Industrial Setup, even for Dirty Environments

The SI4100-LP is designed for 24/7 operation in an industrial environment. The height-adjustable aluminum extrusion frame allows for quick and accurate line-height adjustments. A sliding rail at the base allows for lateral adjustments and provides operators with the option to slide the system out of the way so bulky products can pass through. Easy-to-clean covers and shields prevent dust particles from entering the system. Fans, lens filters, and optional air wipes are also used to keep the whole system clean and dust free.
