Inspects all types of capillaries, including complex cross-sections and multilocular cross-sections used for bi-component and hollow fibers.
Self-calibration using a NIST traceable reticle before each inspection run ensures high accuracy and repeatability.

 

After automatic inspection, each spinnerette is objectively qualified as either "Passed" or "Failed", according to the user-selected inspection criteria.
Automatic correctional and focusing algorithms are built into the software, allowing the inspection of warped and convex spinnerettes.

 

User-selected pass-fail Criteria are easily established by selecting measurements, tolerances, number of acceptable failed capillaries, number of acceptable plugged capillaries, and more.
nspects capillaries ranging from 0.020mm to 5.0mm in diameter and capillaries ranging from 0.1:1 to 25:1 in length:diameter ratio, at speeds of up to 0.35 seconds per capillary.

 

Inspection data is stored for data analysis, using pictorial and graphical representation to provide insight into the cleaning and extrusion processes.
Automatic air purge cleans dirt, fingerprints, cleaning beads, and other debris from the capillaries before the inspection is completed.

 

Inspection review tools include on-screen capillary images, measurement data, free roam control, and report generation.
Capillary illuminator provides immediate visual identification of defective capillaries using a light pointing device.

 

Automatic learn feature allows SpinTrak to learn new capillary patterns and sizes by scanning the spinnerette in low magnification.
Remote control diagnostics feature allows immediate software upgrades, on-line support and training.
