PINspector+ Pin Hole Detector

Pin holes and edge cracks compromise overall sheet quality resulting in downgraded material or scrap.The Thermo Scientific™ PINspector+ provides contactless monitoring of flat sheet for such defects. The instrument can detect holes as small as 5 microns on sheet speeds up to 2000 meters per minute. This is critical for food canning applications where the smallest hole can spoil the contents and put the end consumer's health at risk. The PINspector+ can also be configured to show width measurement and provide additional information on strip quality.

The Thermo Scientific PINspector+ Pin Hole Detector is recommended for coating lines, slitting lines and other process lines where sheet integrity is critical.
