Israel-based Elbit Vision Systems Ltd. (EVS) — a provider of vision solutions for surface inspection and real-time quality monitoring — has introduced C-BELT, an inspection system for narrow safety belts such as automotive seatbelts, safety harnessing for fire and rescue, and safety tie-downs for transportation.
C-BELT detects, identifies and labels common manufacturing defects on both sides of a safety belt. According to EVS, its multi-angle viewing lines are able to detect all visible defects including ends out, broken picks, misspicks, loopy selvage, loose filament, spots, stains, holes, mono-tails slubs, bulges, dip-ins and knots. The full color, automated inspection system works in conjunction with EVS's online Optimization & Cut control system.
"We have already installed the first system in some of the world's largest manufacturers of safety belts, and we are currently in negotiation with many other manufacturers who would like to adopt our solution to install in their production processes," said Sam Cohen, CEO, EVS. "We believe that in the future, the C-BELT's solution will revolutionize the way safety belts are produced and inspected around the world."
