With optical fibers, typically used for communication systems, defects can inhibit the optical quality and structural integrity. For medical fibers, used for internal sutures, contamination and structural integrity are of utmost concern. Unfortunately, the manufacturing process can result in defects such as fiber diameter, surface abrasion, internal consistency defects, contamination, and gouges. Explore the capabilities of Adsys Control’s NI Platform Web Inspection System on optical and medical fibers and its ability to detect micron scale defects at manufacturing line rates.
