Abstract
A surface scanner for surface defect detection of a cable comprises a measuring part and an analysis part, the measuring part comprises non-contact distance measurement sensors, the cable is positionable between the sensors such that beams of the sensors are directable to the outer surface of the cable to sample areas at a circumference of the cable for a length of the outer surface (L) of the cable in a run direction (x) of the cable for providing measurement data, and the analysis part comprises a receiver for the measurement data, a processor for processing the measurement data providing defect detection data and a continuous 3D topographic map of the outer surface of the cable, the analysis part comprising a neural network trained for detecting surface defects of the cable and outputting surface defects detection data. The invention also relates to an arrangement and a method for surface defect detection of a cable.
