Paper

Surface quality is essential to paper production for all purposes. Imperfections can affect printing or make tearing more likely. A reliable, automated surface inspection system is critical to effective quality control.

Paper is comparatively fragile to produce, and processing lines can be prone to defects and web breaks. Automated inspection delivers improvements in product quality – reducing waste – and helps to maximize yields.

A highly versatile material, paper has many uses, including books, magazines, newsprint, letters, artworking and packaging. It can also be used for banknotes, cleaning and construction applications.

Based on years of experience in the paper industry, AMETEK Surface Vision provides customized, modular solutions for paper producers around the world. Our expert knowledge ensures the right mix of lighting, cameras and other hardware for accurate real-time inspection. Advanced detection and classification software ensure unparalleled, automatic identification and visualization of defects.
