Blister Detection Unit
- In-line Blister Detection for profile wire
A non-destructive Mechanical Tester
The BDU – Blister Detection Unit is designed for in-line monitoring of blisters on profile wire. Blisters are bulgy surface defects in the insulation layer that typically occur due to faults in the production processes.
The BDU is a non-destructive mechanical tester, that examines all four sides of the profile wire and detects blisters down to 0,050 mm. Can be combined with the HVC 360 Flexible.
BDU offers following advantages:
-Control with each meter of the spool
-Reduction of scrap
-Optimisation of production processes
-Detailed documentation
-4 sides detection
Basic operation principle
The Blister Detection Unit BDU operates dynamically by detection of changes in distance between the set of wheels. A high precision motion to Voltage converting device develop by DSE is detecting even the smallest changes. The BDU is optimized for accuracy, low need for maintenance and high repeatability over time.
The BDU system can be added to our current HVC system, or operate as a stand–alone testing sys-tem.
