Inspection workflow
Configure, measure and review
FlawDetect connects directly to the Keyence LS-9501P and automatically programs it for the measurement function.
Count both flaw types
Track lumps and neckdowns separately while measuring outside diameter.

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
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.
