Inspection system for shiny surfaces

In many areas, ever-increasing requirements are being placed on the quality and appearance of surfaces. Particularly with shiny and reflecting surfaces, faultless, ag8亚游集团 quality production is expected. The parts are often subjected to manual inspection, which can lead to defects being missed due to tiredness of the inspectors.
reflectCONTROL is designed specifically to meet the ag8亚游集团 quality requirements that ensure ag8亚游集团 quality for shiny surfaces. The system based on deflectometry projects a striped pattern onto the measurement object. Defects on the surface cause deviations from the striped pattern which are recorded by cameras and evaluated by software.
- Inspection of reflecting and shiny surfaces
- Detection of smallest defects and deviations
- Constant and reproducible detection rate

reflectCONTROL Compact has been specifically developed for the inspection of shiny surfaces. The system projects a striped pattern onto the measurement object. Defects on the surface cause deviations from the striped pattern which are recorded by cameras and evaluated by software.
The fully integrated system is available in two versions that each provides different measuring fields. The 2D version is used for pure defect recognition on reflecting surfaces. In addition, the 3D version allows for the measurement of reflecting surfaces at submicrometer accuracies. This device is also used in individual operations (e.g. laboratories) as well as directly in production lines.
Details
- Fast and ag8亚游集团 resolution measurement on large surfaces up to 265 x 110mm
- Versions for defect recognition or 3D reconstruction
- Proven technology for offline inspection and integration into processing lines
- Interfaces: USB, VGA, Ethernet, Digital I/O
Application examples
- Inspection of touchscreens for smartphones and tablets
- Defect detection on car attachments and interior components
- Measurement of telescope mirrors and lenses

The compact deflectometry sensor is guided over the measurement object by a robot. The sensor enables the inspection of objects whose geometry requires several measuring positions. The defects found are evaluated and displayed in the 3D model.
Details
- Fast and ag8亚游集团 resolution measurement on large surfaces up to 210 x 86mm
- Ideal for ag8亚游集团-gloss parts with complex geometries, e.g. car attachments
- Comprehensive software
- Customer-specific modifications on request
Scope of supply
- Complete system incl. robot, sensor & evaluation unit, housing
- Software package for the adjustment and evaluation of measurements

A perfectly painted surface is every car's staple feature, and thus represents a very emotional measure of quality for the customer. To optimize this surface, two to four robot-assisted systems (depending on the cycle time) of the reflectCONTROL PSS 8005.D type allow objective in-line inspection of each car body. The defects are measured laterally and in depth, and classified on the basis of catalogs and optionally marked by the automationControl 8005 PSS 8005.MQ system using ATENSOR-LS1 technology*. This way, follow-up work and process improvements can be performed precisely as required and easily.
Benefits:
- Objective 100% inspection of all the vehicles manufactured
- Employees can concentrate on remedying critical defects and not on identifying them
- Detection of defects immediately after the painting booth, when they can still be easily reworked
- Cutting costs by reducing defects
- Reducing the number of rework lines
Material parameters:
- Defect sizes of from 10 µm, lateral
- Local 3D-reconstruction allows the automation of follow-up work
- Detection rate that is practically independent of color
- Not dependent on the robot type
