Inspection workflow
FlawDetect connects directly to the Keyence LS-9501P and automatically programs it for the measurement function.
Adjust the defect calibration variables to define lump and neckdown thresholds.
Track lumps and neckdowns separately while measuring outside diameter.
See global and local time-domain graphs and real-time statistics.
Create ready-to-print reports and work in U.S. customary or metric units.
Detection example
Approx. 0.25 in at 1,500 ft/minThis example corresponds to about 457 m/min. Detectable defect length depends on line speed, hardware and settings. At lower speeds, shorter defects can be detected.
Equipment
Pair the required LS-9501P controller with a compatible LS-9XXX optical micrometer selected for your product diameter.
