Leather inspection: Dr. Schenk offers automatic inspection of entire hides.

In an offline inspection station, EasyInspect features a felt conveyor onto which the hide is placed. Using light vacuum at the front the hide is flattened and its position on the conveyor is secured. Strong vacuum in the scanning area, where the high-speed cameras inspect the hide's surface, ensures optimal inspection results, particularly for butcher marks.

As an inline inspection station, EasyInspect can be integrated into existing cutters.

Perform multiple tasks with a single system

EasyInspect for leather inspection uses Dr. Schenk’s unique MIDA Technology This allows simultaneous

detection of smallest natural flaws
multi-angle illuminations for optimum view
multiple views of the same flaw in real-time, each of which shows different characteristics of the recorded flaw

All characteristics are evaluated using Dr. Schenk's artificial intelligence solutions to determine different quality areas on the hide. The result is a quality map, showing different quality areas of the hide in different colros for quick and easy indentification. EasyInspect for leather inspection ensures comprehensive inspection of hides at all production stages with optimal perspectives for each flaw at all times.
