In many cutting-edge fields such as aerospace and wind turbine blades, carbon fiber multiaxial fabric serves as a core reinforcing material, and its quality, purity, and structural integrity directly determine the performance and safety of the final composite component. However, during its precision weaving process, various...Foreign objects on the surface (such as light-colored tape, paper scraps, wood chips).?andEmbedded foreign objects (such as tufts of hair, mixed carbon filaments, horizontal strips, etc.)?It's difficult to completely avoid. Traditional inspection methods, which rely on manual visual inspection, are highly susceptible to visual fatigue and fluctuations in attention when dealing with continuous production and wide-format fabrics.The false negative rate is rising.This not only results in significant waste of raw materials and labor, but also risks allowing potential defects to reach downstream customers, triggering serious quality claims and ultimately eroding the company's hard-won technological reputation and brand image.
Faced with this common challenge in the industry, we believe that the bottleneck in quality control is precisely the key to breaking through competitiveness. With the maturity of machine vision and artificial intelligence technologies, achieving…?Uninterrupted, highly consistent real-time online detectionIt has become possible and is an inevitable choice for building a modern, reliable quality system.

Comprehensive Intelligent Inspection: A Fusion of Functionality, Performance, and Deep Value
Our online inspection system for carbon fiber warp knitting machines does not simply replace the human eye, but rather constructs a closed loop of quality data from "perception" to "decision-making," providing end-to-end protection for the production of carbon fiber multiaxial fabrics.

Core functions and features
1、Precise positioning, comprehensive detection
exclusive objectAlgorithm deep optimization is performed on the material properties and surface texture of multiaxial warp-woven carbon fiber fabrics.
Complete defect databaseThe system has a rich set of built-in defect models and can detect surface foreign objects such as light-colored tape, paper scraps, and wood chips, as well as embedded foreign objects such as lint, carbon filaments, and horizontal strips.
2、Core specifications, stable and reliable
Wide-format compatibility:Supports online inspection up to 2.6 meters in width. The system is intelligently deployed at key stations at the rear of traction and the front of winding to ensure that the fabric is inspected in a flat and stable state.
Speed ??matching:Designed specifically for low-speed, high-precision production of carbon fiber fabrics, it can achieve full-width, high-precision synchronous inspection at operating speeds ≤2 meters/minute.
Data-driven management:All defects are automatically categorized and stored on a production "axis" basis. The system capacity supports the retention and retrieval of more than 100,000 defect images, creating a traceable "quality ID card" for each roll of product.
Real-time intervention mechanism:Once a defect exceeding the standard is detected, the system will issue an audible and visual alarm and automatically stop the warp knitting machine, thereby achieving immediate interception and location of the defect and preventing the problem from escalating.
3. The profound value beyond detection
Process Optimization Guide:By working backward from defect characteristics, process engineers can quickly pinpoint the root cause of problems and drive precise optimization of production processes.
Quality and cost control:It significantly reduces customer returns, claims, and reputational damage caused by missed inspections, directly improving yield rate and overall profit margin.
