In copper taping, a small change in the process can travel a long way down the line before it becomes obvious. CORPEX machine vision gives cable manufacturers a way to see that change while the cable is still being produced.

Copper Taping Process Monitoring in Real Time

Copper taping is a continuous process. When tape pitch, overlap, position or alignment begins to change, that variation can continue through a significant length of product before it is identified through periodic measurement or downstream inspection.

CORPEX machine vision provides continuous in-line measurement while the cable is being produced, giving operators greater visibility into changes as they develop.

A small variation can travel a long way. The earlier you see it, the sooner you can respond.

What can CORPEX measure?

The system can continuously monitor key characteristics of the copper taping process while production is running.

Tape pitch
Tape overlap
Taping angle
Tape position and alignment
Outside diameter
Missing or improperly positioned tape

More visibility into the process

Continuous measurement gives production and quality teams information while the line is still running, rather than waiting until a problem is discovered further downstream.

Inspection information can also be stored for quality records and traceability and integrated with plant automation and production systems where appropriate.
