Nonwovens

Nonwoven fabrics are laminated by chemical, mechanical, solvent or hot glues. This requires rapid and accurate surface inspection to ensure high quality products are created with minimal waste.

Nonwoven production often relies on bonding multiple layers together, so an undetected defect in a single layer can affect production quality, making high-precision detection essential.

Our automated, non-contact inspection systems provide a solution for a wide variety of nonwoven applications. This includes everything from clothing and furniture to agricultural and industrial use.

Relied upon by major rolling goods producers around the world, AMETEK Surface Vision provides the most trusted web inspection systems for nonwovens. Our solutions have become the standard in online defect detection.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is essential to a range of workplace applications, particularly Healthcare. Many of these PPE items are partly or wholly manufactured from nonwoven materials. Since nonwovens protect against airborne particles while providing air permeability, this quality must be safeguarded in order to produce effective PPE that is safe to use.
