Machine Vision for Guitar String Manufacturing

THE GAUGE CAN BE RIGHT. THE STRING CAN STILL BE WRONG.

CORPEX machine vision for guitar string manufacturing monitors diameter, winding pitch and surface consistency during production. Detect variation earlier to help reduce rejected strings and material waste.

Understanding the Product

A guitar string is more than its gauge.

Plain steel and wound strings differ in core construction, materials and winding geometry. Beyond finished diameter, pitch, spacing and surface consistency are critical manufacturing characteristics that machine vision can help monitor.

Inspection Applications

See more than finished diameter.

Depending on production requirements and system configuration, CORPEX machine vision can monitor critical string characteristics at production speed.

01 / OD

Outer Diameter

Monitor finished dimensions and measurable changes in string diameter.

02 / PITCH

Winding Pitch

Track wrap spacing and winding consistency during production.

03 / SURFACE

Surface Condition

Identify visible irregularities and changes in surface appearance.

04 / POSITION

Component Position

Verify the presence and position of selected production features.

Selection of electric, acoustic and bass guitars
One Industry. Many String Designs.

Different instruments. Different strings. The same demand for consistency.

Real-Time Monitoring

Measure. Detect. Respond.

Continuous inspection provides live measurement information, configurable tolerances and monitoring between manual quality checks.

  • Live measurements
  • Out-of-spec alerts
  • Production data logging
  • Trend monitoring
Connected to Your Production Environment

Depending on configuration, CORPEX measurement data can integrate with PLC, SCADA, MES and OPC environments.
