LaserLinc Launches FlawSense Technology, Redefining Defect Detection in Manufacturing

The demands on modern manufacturing have never been higher. Products are expected to be lighter, stronger, safer, and more precise — all while production speeds continue to increase. Even the smallest surface flaw can trigger costly recalls or lead to product failures in the field.

That’s why LaserLinc has introduced FlawSense, a groundbreaking 3D flaw detection technology designed to revolutionize how manufacturers detect, classify, and respond to surface defects in real time.

A New Era of Surface Flaw Detection

FlawSense brings a new level of intelligence to surface inspection. Unlike traditional 2D inspection systems, which often struggle to differentiate between harmless cosmetic marks and critical defects, FlawSense uses a multi-laser, multi-angle approach to create accurate 3D profiles of product surfaces as they move through production.

This allows the system to accurately measure not only the presence of a flaw, but also its shape, depth, and volume — critical details that help manufacturers make informed decisions about whether to halt production, adjust parameters, or continue uninterrupted.

Built for High-Speed Production Environments

One of the standout strengths of FlawSense is its ability to operate at full production speeds without slowing down the line.

Whether it’s medical tubing, wire and cable, extrusion, or automotive components, FlawSense delivers high-resolution inspection at high speeds, providing operators with immediate feedback while maintaining uninterrupted production. This helps manufacturers avoid costly downtime, minimize scrap, and maintain the consistent quality their customers expect.

Turning Data Into Actionable Insights

FlawSense isn’t just about seeing defects — it’s about understanding them.

The system integrates with LaserLinc’s process visualization tools, enabling operators to see real-time flaw data alongside other production parameters. This enables teams to quickly identify root causes, adjust processes, and prevent recurring issues.

Manufacturers can also track trends over time, using the data to continuously improve their processes and reduce defect rates in future runs.

A Powerful Addition to the LaserLinc Lineup

As part of its expanding suite of measurement and control solutions, FlawSense reinforces LaserLinc’s reputation as an industry leader in precision and innovation.

For decades, LaserLinc has developed systems that help manufacturers enhance product quality, cut costs, and gain a competitive edge. With FlawSense, they’ve added a powerful new tool that raises the bar for what’s possible in real-time defect detection.

Setting a New Standard for Quality Assurance

By combining advanced 3D profiling with real-time analysis, FlawSense represents a significant leap forward in defect detection technology.

It pairs perfectly with other quality control systems, such as precise laser measuring devices, to give manufacturers complete visibility into both dimensional accuracy and surface integrity — two pillars of high-spec manufacturing.

For companies aiming to eliminate defects and boost productivity, FlawSense is more than an inspection tool — it’s a strategic advantage.
