SurfaceScope Pro - 100% surface inspection ensures 100% production quality
SurfaceScope Pro
SurfaceScope Pro
With its monitoring opportunities, like controlling the width during production, it creates an alert to the operator or even machine stops when it detects deviations. Narrow design that allows flexible integration in space constrained areas.
Description
SurfaceScope Pro delivers automated 100% surface inspection for reliable quality assurance in tire production processes. Using high-resolution line-scan camera technology, the system detects defects such as holes, rubber inconsistencies, splice issues, and exposed wires in real time.
It continuously monitors the material and can trigger alarms or machine stops to prevent defective output. Thanks to its compact design and flexible integration, the system can be installed even in space-constrained environments. The result is a cost-efficient inspection system that ensures consistent product quality and stable production processes.
Tire building machine application
Single 8K grayscale line-scan cameras are used to detect holes in the liner as small as 0,5 mm in circumference, operating at maximum speeds of up to 48 m/min.
Cutting machine application
High-speed 4K color cameras detect holes, exposed wires, and alignment issues with a camera resolution of 0,12 mm. The working width ranges from 500 mm to 1.500 mm and can be covered using up to three cameras mounted side by side.
Machine integration
The system uses OPC protocol, connects through TCP Ethernet, and uses German KepServerEX software to communicate with the production line. It can support all common PLC device connections, and customers only need to provide data addresses, then the system can directly read and write data on the PLC.

SurfaceScope Pro
100% surface inspection for 100% production quality
Automated surface inspection for tire manufacturing. Detect surface defects in real time, improve quality assurance and help keep your production processes running efficiently.
Request Information → Technical DetailsReliable surface inspection for tire production
Identify defects before they affect your finished product.
SurfaceScope Pro uses high-resolution line-scan cameras to inspect materials across tire-building and cutting processes. It detects holes, rubber inconsistencies, splice issues and exposed wires while continuously monitoring the material.
When deviations are detected, the system can alert the operator or initiate a machine stop. Its compact design supports integration into production lines where installation space is limited.
Quality control you can rely on
Support consistent manufacturing with automated inspection, early defect detection and production-line monitoring.
100% surface inspection
Inspect material continuously to support reliable product quality.
Real-time defect detection
Identify holes, rubber inconsistencies, splice issues and exposed wires.
Immediate reaction

Built for tire manufacturing processes
SurfaceScope Pro supports inspection requirements across tire-building and cutting machine applications.
Tire building machine
Tire building machine inspection
A single 8K grayscale line-scan camera can detect liner holes as small as 0.5 mm in circumference, at production speeds of up to 48 m/min.
Key application: Liner inspection and early detection of surface defects.
Cutting machine
High-speed cutting machine inspection
High-speed 4K color cameras detect holes, exposed wires and alignment issues. The system supports working widths from 500 mm to 1,500 mm.
Up to three cameras can be mounted side by side to cover the required inspection width.
Connect inspection with your production line
SurfaceScope Pro communicates with production equipment through OPC and TCP Ethernet. The system uses KepServerEX software to support communication with the production line.
It supports common PLC connections. With the required data addresses provided, the system can read and write PLC data to support production monitoring and control.

100% surface inspection for 100% production quality
Up to six high-resolution line-scan cameras watch every metre of material on cutting and tire building machines. Holes, rubber inconsistencies, splice faults and exposed wires are flagged the moment they appear.
Width is monitored throughout production, and any deviation triggers an operator alert or a machine stop. The slim housing fits into tight spaces on existing lines.
Line-scan inspection, live
Automated inspection for tire production
SurfaceScope Pro checks the full surface of the material in real time using high-resolution line-scan cameras. When it finds a defect, it can raise an alarm or stop the machine so faulty material never moves further down the line.
Its compact build makes it practical to retrofit, even where space is limited, giving you consistent quality and steadier production at a reasonable cost.
Tire building machines
A single 8K grayscale line-scan camera finds liner holes down to 0.5 mm in circumference at speeds up to 48 m/min.
Cutting machines
High-speed 4K colour cameras with 0.12 mm resolution detect holes, exposed wires and misalignment. Up to three cameras side by side cover working widths from 500 to 1,500 mm.
Machine integration
Connects to the line over TCP Ethernet using the OPC protocol and KEPServerEX. Works with all common PLCs: provide the data addresses and the system reads and writes directly.
