Inline Thermal Imaging for Quality Assurance and Defect Detection System
In modern high-throughput manufacturing, where precision, speed, and consistency define success, real-time inline inspection systems are not just a benefit—they’re essential. The Workswell ThermoInspector is an advanced radiometric thermal imaging solution engineered for automated production lines. It ensures every product passes through a rigorous thermal inspection, detecting defects, inconsistencies, or anomalies that would be invisible to the naked eye or conventional vision systems.
Designed for continuous operation, this system integrates seamlessly into manufacturing workflows, offering absolute temperature measurement, intuitive software control, and reliable defect detection—all in real-time. From food and pharma to automotive and electronics, the ThermoInspector guarantees improved product quality, reduced waste, and enhanced process transparency.
United Spectrum Instruments is the official distributor of Workswell solutions in India, offering complete support for system selection, installation, customisation, and service.

FAQs
Can ThermoInspector detect invisible defects in heated products?
Yes, it captures real-time thermal data to identify subtle defects such as cold spots, hot zones, or uneven temperature distribution that are not visible to standard cameras.
Is the system suitable for high-speed conveyors?
Absolutely. With fast frame rates and rapid data processing, ThermoInspector supports real-time inspection of fast-moving production lines without bottlenecks.
Can it be integrated with our existing PLC-based reject system?
Yes. It supports digital I/O and Modbus protocols for direct communication with PLCs, enabling automatic rejection of faulty products.
Does the software support multiple product types or batches?
Yes. CorePlayer allows for multiple recipes or inspection configurations, making it easy to switch between product batches without manual recalibration.
What if our product has reflective or shiny surfaces?
The system uses optimised optics and filtering to handle reflective materials. Custom calibration or shielding can further improve performance in challenging conditions.
