A fault detection system for use with wire includes an outer housing and a detection component positioned within the housing. The detection component includes a plurality of emitters and a plurality of detectors positioned around an examination area through which a wire is traversed. Each adjacent pair of emitters is spaced no more than 30 degrees apart, and each of the plurality of detectors is positioned across the examination area from a corresponding emitter. Each of the emitters is configured to emit a signal that is measured by a corresponding detector, and the detection component is configured to detect one or more defects on a surface of the wire based upon changes in the signals measured by one or more of the plurality of detectors.

Systems and methods for detecting defects in magnet wire insulation

A visual inspection system that may be utilized to inspect and identify defects in magnet wire or other objects is described. The system may include an outer housing, a light source, and at least one visual inspection device. The housing may include a channel through which an object to be inspected is traversed, and the channel may extend along a longitudinal direction and include an inner surface having a diameter that narrows along the longitudinal direction between a first point and an examination area. The light source may be positioned on an opposite side of the first point from the examination area along the longitudinal direction. The visual inspection device(s) may be positioned around an outer circumference of the examination area, and each visual inspection device may be configured to inspect the object through a respective opening in the housing.
