The flawless condition of a surface is a decisive quality feature in almost every industry. Customers expect ever more complex products of the highest quality with ever shorter production times.
Need for automatic testing of surfaces
However, it is not only ever shorter cycle times that pose increasing challenges to conventional quality inspection processes with trained employees. Above all, the increasingly complex components must be reliably and constantly inspected for surface defects. It is crucial that each part produced is inspected individually and that any production defects detected are documented. As even the smallest defects, such as cracks, scratches or dents, must be detected with the utmost reliability, conventional visual inspection by trained employees is increasingly reaching its limits in most industries. Software-based methods for the automatic analysis of surfaces, on the other hand, can guarantee constant and reliable defect detection and also document the detected defects centrally. This makes it possible to integrate a reliable surface inspection into the production process and to correct any defects found for subsequent production series.
