ESP Cable Puckering Detection

DETECT ESP CABLE PUCKERING WHILE THE CABLE IS RUNNING.

CORPEX combines machine vision and AI to inspect armored Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) cable during production, detecting puckering and cable profile changes before more affected product is manufactured.

ESP Cable Puckering

Detect what conventional inspection can miss.

Puckering occurs when an armored cable layer compresses unevenly, creating bulges, ripples or changes in the cable profile. The cable may appear acceptable until tension makes the dimensional difference more visible.

By then, additional cable may already have been produced. In-line machine vision gives operators visibility while the cable is still moving through production, allowing developing conditions to be identified earlier.

CORPEX combines machine vision measurement with AI-based defect analysis. The system measures cable profile changes and helps distinguish meaningful puckering from normal product variation.

See the difference. Make the decision.

CORPEX analyzes cable geometry and visible surface characteristics as the ESP cable moves through production, identifying conditions that require operator attention.

ESP Cable Puckering Detected

Cable geometry or visible surface characteristics fall outside the expected condition and are flagged for operator attention.

ACCEPTABLE

ESP Cable Within Expected Condition

The measured profile and inspected surface remain within established inspection parameters.

Hybrid Vision + AI

Measure the change. Analyze the condition.

Machine vision measures changes in the cable profile. AI analysis helps determine whether those changes represent a meaningful defect condition.

01 / CAPTURE

Inspect Continuously

Cameras capture the ESP cable surface while production continues.

02 / MEASURE

Find Profile Variation

Machine vision measures dimensional and visible profile changes in the moving cable.

03 / ANALYZE

Evaluate Puckering

AI helps distinguish meaningful puckering from normal product variation.

04 / RESPOND

Alert & Record

Inspection results can be presented to operators and stored for traceability.

More Than Pass / Fail

Turn inspection into production intelligence.

CORPEX gives production and quality teams more than a defect signal. Inspection data can support measurement, traceability and integration with the wider manufacturing environment.

MEASURE

Dimensional Inspection

Monitor outside diameter and other measurable ESP cable characteristics associated with profile variation.

DETECT

Surface Defects

Identify puckering, deformation and other visible abnormalities as armored ESP cable moves through production.

RECORD + CONNECT

Production Intelligence

Store inspection history for traceability and connect inspection information with CMVS, SCADA, MES and OPC environments.

Beyond ESP Puckering

Inspect more than one cable condition.

Puckering is the focus of this application, but the same machine vision platform can monitor other measurable and visible conditions during cable production.
