The PIPE, old-school real-time image processing Randy Luck 3-December-2019 revised 31-December-2019 Aspex Incorporated developed the PIPE system (Pipelined Image Processing Engine) in collaboration with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the mid-1980’s. This system was well ahead of its time but also a part of the times. The hardware was developed by Randy Luck, BJ Henrici, and Jim Herriman in conjunction with software by Jim Knapp, Shoshi…
Update: 28/6/19 Aspex Inc. has recently participated at ITMA in Barcelona with resounding success. Customers have shown keen interest in the latest developments announced including their new multiscanning inspection. Multiple customers visited including some that have used the SpinTrak system for more than 20 years and indicated their satisfaction about it’s performance and usefulness to their process control. ASPEX INCORPORATED is pleased to announce their participation in the upcoming ITMA…


1) Some new features which aids in finding deep dirt inside the capillary, wear inspection (subject to spinneret condition), and skewness inspection. 2) Sub-capillary inspection of complex capillaries (not round) shape is one of our strongest features. For example, if we want to inspect trilobal capillaries, then our field of view (FOV) is higher than round capillaries because manufacturing tolerances for non-round capillary shapes are more than round capillary shapes.…
Since the early days of the man-made fiber industry, it has been recognized that the spinneret is one of the most important components in insuring successful production. Fiber uniformity, essential for end-user applications, rests on capillary geometry. Over the years, much effort has been spent to try to control spinneret quality from the time of its initial manufacture, through the demands of day-today production. In recognition of this, spinneret inspection…


Aspex Incorporated has become the standard known in the industry for Automatic Spinneret Inspection having achieved sales in more than 30 countries. Aspex Incorporated has provided their systems in a number of types of manufacturing processes including synthetic fiber (virgin and/or recycled content), filament, BCF carpet extrusion, aramids (and high tenacity) applications, spunbond and meltblown nonwovens extrusion and other applications. Aspex Incorporated offers industry leading technology for inspecting the latest…

Aspex Incorporated is proud to be associated with Bhilosa Industries in this new growth venture. Bhilosa Industries has been associated with Aspex Incorporated since…


Aspex Incorporated opens a regional office in Shanghai, this office will provide sales and service support locally in the fast growing China market. The SpinTrak™ has been widely sold in China to some of the largest well known fiber producers and the leading foreign brand imported into China for automatic spinneret inspection.
Aspex Incorporated opened a new office in Mumbai India to provide better sales and service support globally. Since this time, Aspex Incorporated has achieved the highest percentage of spinneret inspection systems sold in India by supplying most of the filament and fiber producers with SpinTrak™ systems.


By Shoshana Biro, Software Engineer, Aspex Incorporated Although the Spinneret appears to be essentially a simple, precisely-made extrusion die, it is one of the most critical elements of fiber making. Since they are at the very heart of the fiber-making process, plugged, dirty or damaged Spinneret capillaries can have a large impact on overall plant profitability. Cleaning failures, damage from handling, and wear from polymer flow are the primary causes…

By 2001, with the growth of the fiber market and production beginning to shift to countries with lower cost labor, Aspex Incorporated surpassed sales of more than 100 systems worldwide. Many of the earlier SpinTrak™ systems supplied in developing markets were transferred or purchased by larger companies from Western Countries who invested in new plants in lower cost developing countries. Additionally, SpinTrak™ systems were being recommended or supplied by well…
