    Inspection-ready machines for the nonwovens industry

    Your machines deliver performance. But your customers expect more. In hygiene, filtration, and medical markets, manufacturers increasingly demand built-in quality assurance — not as an option, but as a requirement. And they rely on their OEM partners to make it happen.

    With our fully integrated inline surface inspection, you deliver inspection-ready machines that make quality measurable from the very first roll. Whether you design spunbond, meltblown, carded, or hydroentangled systems — we support your concept with technology that's built to integrate.

    Our systems are modular and designed for all major nonwoven materials — ready for direct integration into your line concepts.

    Your benefits

    • Inspection-ready lines with built-in 100% inline quality control
    • Faster time-to-market via proven mechanical and software integration
    • Easy commissioning — minimal install effort for your customers
    • Proven worldwide with top OEMs and nonwoven producers
    • Lower customer risk — catch defects early, protect your brand
    • Future-ready with automation & traceability

    • Modular cameras & lighting — up to 6 m width, rugged enclosures, flexible mounts
    • Intelligent software — optimized for high-speed, variable nonwovens with real-time defect detection, classification & roll mapping
    • OEM Integration Kit: CAD data, wiring diagrams, interface documentation, and pre-tested mounting concepts 
    • Global support: Joint line commissioning, training, and after-sales service — on-site or remote 
    • Co-branding & white label: Align the solution with your customer strategy

    Our integration process is proven, straightforward, and supported from concept to commissioning — helping you meet project deadlines without detours.

    What our technology detects

    • Surface anomalies: Thick spots, thin spots, holes, streaks, fiber clumps 
    • Foreign matter: Contamination, color deviations, insect parts, oil spots 
    • Machine-related patterns and web instability signals 
    • Traceable roll mapping and data export for quality documentation

    Where to integrate inspection

    • End-of-line / Pre-winder: Catch critical defects before roll completion 
    • Between key process steps: After web formation, calendering, or embossing 
    • Post-converting: Ideal for slitters, or rewinders

    Built for all major nonwoven applications

    Our systems adapt to all key applications in the nonwoven industry — from hygiene and filtration to automotive and construction.
    They are compatible with major material types such as airlaid, drylaid, spunbond, spunmelt, and wetlaid, and support a wide range of downstream processes: Embossing > Coating > Laminating > Printing > Slitting

    Production analytics - Data-driven efficiency

    ISRA VISION’s web-based production analytics platform transforms inspection data into actionable insights – instantly and across all nonwoven production lines.

    It offers full visibility into machine status, surface quality, and system health. With threshold monitoring and live alerts, operators can respond early and prevent costly deviations.

    Sensor-based monitoring enables predictive maintenance by detecting anomalies as they emerge. This allows proactive maintenance planning based on actual machine condition – instead of relying on fixed schedules. The result: less downtime, higher productivity, and longer equipment life.

    By analyzing defect trends, frequency, type, and position, you can:

    • Identify root causes – from bonding defects to GSM fluctuations
    • Optimize process parameters and machine settings
    • Balance production lines, improve material efficiency, and reduce waste
    • Continuously track optimization measures using advanced visual reports
    • Benchmark suppliers, support audits, and move toward zero-defect production

    Roll-based grading, defect heatmaps, and statistical reporting make surface quality measurable, visual, and traceable. Dashboards are accessible remotely and adaptable to different departments – allowing informed decisions across the entire production chain.
