In-Process Inspection

You need a partner who understands the nuances of in-process inspection on web converting machines—someone with all the disciplines under one roof and not someone so big that the engineers are hidden behind management and salespeople. Invent Automation is an expert in all things in-process inspection on webs. From material thickness monitoring to edge control, and always being able to integrate on any system, we live and breathe this world every day.

You need engineers and inventors knowledgeable in:

1. Line scan cameras for full web inspections
2. Web thickness measurement
3. Edge position sensors
4. Variety of tension control type systems and sensors
5. Smart cameras for in-process marking and feature inspection

Common pitfalls of web in-process inspection that we ensure you don’t fall into:

1. Not considering system hysteresis
2. Not going back to the basics of web control theory
3. Not designing adjustability into the design from the get-go

We’ve been to hundreds of plants and seen thousands of projects. We’ve rescued failed in-process inspection projects, learned from others' mistakes, made some of our own, and know what it takes to make web in-process inspection systems successful.

Our converting solutions start with a phone call and a visit where we listen, throw around crazy ideas, and ask “what if” together. It’s a lot of fun compared to the daily grind. But we don’t prescribe before diagnosing. We seek to understand the drivers and business results that warrant the investment in a custom converting solution. You want a bespoke converting solution tailored to your needs, and it must deliver business results on time so you can make a return on your investment. We know it’s not about deploying a particular technology or brand; it’s all about achieving your business goal.

Your crazy idea might work. We exist to Invent Automation. Call, email, or chat with us here and talk to an inventor who gets it, so your custom web converting machine can get built and you can get that win.
