About Taymer
Taymer International Inc. is a private Canadian manufacturer of quality inspection and measurement systems for extrusion producers. The portfolio includes camera-based surface and diameter inspection (e.g. SI3100, lump and neck-down detectors), print verification with OCR and machine learning (PV1400, PLV), length measurement systems (Length Rite, LR series) and cable printing machines for hot foil, emboss, indent and sinter printing. The systems run inline on extrusion and rewind lines and inspect continuous products such as wire, cable, pipe, hose, 3D printing filament, fiberglass, medical tubing and packaging. In addition to manufacturing in Markham (Greater Toronto Area), Taymer maintains offices in the USA, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Poland, China, India, Singapore and Ireland and supports customers in eleven languages. According to the company, 4989 systems have been installed in 55 countries since 1961; the quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2015.

Processes & Applications
High Frequency Camera Surface Defect Detector
High-frequency camera system for detecting and evaluating surface and diameter defects on continuous products such as wire, cable, pipe and hose.
Print Verification System
Line-scan machine vision for verifying printed legends on continuous products, combinable with ink-wheel or inkjet printers.
Integrated Print Length Verification
Checks print intervals in real time and continuously recalibrates length markings.
Length Rite Length Measurement Series
Length measurement counters for wire and cable, from small diameters at low to large diameters at high line speeds.
Hot Foil Printing (HF100–HF4000)
Durable, colored cable marking on hard-to-print surfaces such as XLPE, nylon and Teflon, also for pipes.
Emboss Printing (E100, E3000)
Raised marking on hot cable jackets directly after the extruder; cable diameters 5.0–150 mm, up to 300 m/min.
Indent Printing (I100, I3000)
Permanent embossing without ribbon on cold cable jackets after the water bath or on rewind lines.
Sinter Printing
Embedded colored powder marking for corrosive and abrasive environments, e.g. fiberglass cable; cable diameters 10–102 mm.
Braid Inspection System
Real-time inspection of medical braids, mountable on or in Steeger braiding machines.
Machine-Learning Defect Classification
Software classifies defects such as pinholes, scratches, water stains, discoloration, lumps and neck-downs in real time and reduces false alarms.
