MACHINE VISION FOR COPPER TAPING MEASURE THE TAPE WHILE THE CABLE IS RUNNING.
Machine vision for copper taping continuously measures pitch, overlap, taping angle, tape position and outside diameter while cable is still moving through production.
Continuous high-speed inspection
Pitch and overlap precision
Pitch, overlap, angle and OD measurement
Stored data for trending and quality reporting
Detect copper taping variation before long runs are affected.
Copper taping is a continuous process. Pitch, overlap, taping angle and tape position can move away from target while the cable keeps running.
Machine vision for copper taping measures these characteristics during production, giving operators real-time visibility into changes in the taping process instead of relying only on periodic downstream inspection.
This allows taping variation to be identified while the cable is still being produced and while corrective action may still be possible.
Continuous machine vision measures the copper taping process as it happens, making changes in pitch, overlap, angle and position visible during production.
What can machine vision measure during copper taping?
CORPEX machine vision continuously monitors the characteristics that determine copper taping consistency while the cable moves through production.
Tape Overlap
Continuously calculate tape overlap percentage and identify measurable deviations from the required production target.
Taping Pitch
Measure copper taping pitch continuously, with pitch measurement precision up to 0.010 inches.
Tape Presence & Alignment
Detect missing, loose or misaligned tape conditions while the copper taping process is still running.
Taping Angle
Calculate taping angle and identify measurable changes in the wrapping process during cable production.
Outside Diameter
Continuously measure finished product OD across a 0.5 to 3.0 inch (10 to 75 mm) diameter range.
Inspection & Traceability
Store copper taping measurement information for trend tracking, quality reports and production records.
Measure every revolution while the cable is running.
High-resolution imaging continuously captures the copper taping process, calculating pitch, overlap and taping angle while identifying measurable deviations from target.
See the taping process while you can still change it.
Operators receive live measurement feedback while production is running, making changes in the copper taping process visible before they continue down the line.

Calculate What Matters
Vision algorithms calculate pitch, overlap, taping angle and outside diameter in real time.
Catch Variation
Detect measurable changes, missing tape and misalignment while corrective action is possible.
