Inspection workflow

Configure, measure and review

FlawDetect connects directly to the Keyence LS-9501P and automatically programs it for the measurement function.

01

Set defect criteria

Adjust the defect calibration variables to define lump and neckdown thresholds.

02

Count both flaw types

Track lumps and neckdowns separately while measuring outside diameter.

03

Review the process

See global and local time-domain graphs and real-time statistics.

04

Export to Excel

Create ready-to-print reports and work in U.S. customary or metric units.

Detection example

Approx. 0.25 in at 1,500 ft/min

This 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

Built for Keyence LS-9000 Series optics

Pair the required LS-9501P controller with a compatible LS-9XXX optical micrometer selected for your product diameter.
