Surface defect detection in cable manufacturing is changing. As AI infrastructure expands, fiber and power cable producers are being pushed to increase throughput while meeting tighter quality standards. Many operations still rely on manual inspection or 2D vision systems that infer defects rather than measure them. Our latest technical white paper examines why those methods struggle to scale and what continuous, full-surface inspection actually requires in high-volume production. It explores how contour-based 3D inspection using laser-line triangulation enables true 100 percent surface coverage, real-time defect intelligence, and earlier detection that prevents costly scrap and downstream failures.

The new Bump and taper solution from LaserLinc provides in-process measurement of complex extrusions using a unique virtual ring gauge, which identifies and measures feature transitions and feature lengths during manufacturing, allowing operators to quickly dial in production.

Designed as an accessory for LaserLinc’s UltraGauge™ ultrasonic systems, the AutoPilot system automatically positions the transducer assembly to align with the product, ensuring optimal signal strength and consistent measurements.

The next-generation FlawSense II system from LaserLinc addresses uses laser-line triangulation to generate a true 100% surface map of the product in process.

LaserLinc demonstrates its cutting-edge FlawSense™ 3-dimensional detection technology, which surpasses the capabilities of traditional vision systems, laser micrometers, and manual inspection.

LaserLinc, a leader in precision measurement and inspection technology, today announced a brand evolution that reflects the company’s continued focus on innovation and customer success.
