What Types of Defects Can Machine Vision Inspection Detect
High-speed coil/roll production lines relying on manual quality inspection often face recurring issues such as missed defects, high labor costs, batch scrappage, and rising customer complaint risks. Arise’s O+K series machine vision inspection systems provides industry specific, targeted solutions to quality control challenges in various factories, continuously detecting minor defects across the entire web width and delivering a one-stop solution to safeguard roll material quality.

Lithium battery and new energy coil materials
Pain points in the industry
Lithium battery electrodes, separators, and copper/aluminum foils contain micron level tiny defects that are completely invisible to the human eye. On high speed production lines, manual inspection cannot keep up with the production rhythm; tiny pinholes and coating damage that enter the battery cells can easily lead to safety incidents such as short circuits and fires. Since manual sampling cannot achieve 100% inspection, once defective batches are produced, the entire roll must be scrapped, resulting in extremely high material waste costs, and it becomes difficult to meet the rigid zero defect requirements imposed by downstream customers.
What problems can Arise’s vision inspection address?
Micron-level capture of high-risk defects: coating omissions, coating particles, slurry shedding, electrode burrs, separator pinholes/holes, copper/aluminum foil scratches, edge material shortages, wrinkles and bubbles.
7×24 hours stable full-width scanning, unaffected by production line speed, intercepts defects in advance, prevents defective products from entering downstream processes, and eliminates safety hazards in battery cells.
Automatic defect recording and data interfacing with MES, quickly locating root causes of coating and calendering equipment failures, reducing batch scrap, and lowering lithium battery material consumption.
Printing and packaging web materials
Pain points in the industry
Gravure printing, flexographic printing, label, and bag making machine production lines run at high speeds. Operators experience visual fatigue after just 30 minutes of continuous monitoring, making it easy to miss defects such as doctor blade streaks, slight registration deviations, and tiny dirt spots. Defects are often not discovered until the entire roll is rewound after printing, resulting in hundreds of meters of material being scrapped. In addition, different inspectors apply inconsistent judgment standards, allowing barcode defects and color deviations to slip through, which leads to customer returns and damage to brand reputation.
What problems can Arise’s vision inspection address?
Full model lineup for production line adaptation: OK-8000 online vision inspection system for real-time inspection; OK-6000 for rewinding and re-inspecting finished rolls; OK-4000 offline inspection machine; and OK-1000A/B for simultaneous back-and-front inspection on bag-making machines.
Comprehensive coverage of printing defects: registration deviation, color difference, missing print, ghosting, incomplete barcodes, foil stamping misalignment, ink spots, ink splashing, doctor blade streaks, film surface holes and wrinkles, etc.
Real-time alarming, precise stop and reject for defective products, and immediate machine adjustment when process issues are detected during printing-reducing large-scale waste at the source, standardizing quality inspection criteria, and eliminating customer complaint compensations.
Film Coating Roll Materials
Industry Pain Points
Film gels, fisheyes (crystalline particles), and micron level scratches are very difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. During the coating process, insufficient adhesive, adhesive overflow, and uneven thickness cannot be monitored in real time by manual inspection. On high-speed film production lines, manual inspection efficiency is low; defective products become finished goods after lamination and are then directly scrapped, leading to serious waste of adhesive raw materials, and it is impossible to trace the cause of coating process abnormalities.
What problems can Arise solve?
Paired with the CTS3.0 coating quality tracking system, it simultaneously inspects coating uniformity and surface appearance defects.
It enables real-time, precise monitoring of adhesive coating weight and coating thickness, ensuring full process quality tracking and stable control from production through to finished goods.
It provides real time feedback on coating anomalies, helping operators adjust adhesive application parameters to stabilize coating quality and significantly reduce scrap costs for films and adhesives.
