Fine Wire Inspection System

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Fine Wire Inspection System is designed to evaluate small diameter tungsten or molybdenum bar wire. It inspects wires ranging from 0.020” to 0.165” in diameter and 18 to 78 inches in length for cracks, diameter, and roundness.
System Components:
  • Entry Tray: Manually loaded with wire pieces.
  • Gripper Assembly: Picks up one wire at a time and inserts it into drive wheels.
  • Drive Wheels: Feed the wire through the machine.
  • Eddy Current Coil: Utilizes the Foerster DEFECTOMAT EZ test instrument for defect detection.
  • Laser Micrometer: A high-level dual head laser checks for diameter and roundness.
  • Marking Station: Marks each piece before sorting.
  • Sorting Tray: Air-operated, sorts wires into three categories: good, rework, and rejected.
Inspection Process: The system ensures each wire passes through a series of checks for defects, diameter, and roundness, followed by marking and sorting based on quality.
