Surface Defect Detection

Boulder Imaging's surface defect inspection systems technology scans parts, coatings, or web materials and instantly analyzes the surface for defects, non-uniformities, and other characteristics. Defects may include chips, bubbles, inclusions, scratches, dents, non-registration, or any other non-uniformity. Our systems will also inspect thickness of coatings on just about any type of material.

Products are categorized as pass or fail and the systems sends appropriate instructions to a robotic or automated handling system to sort parts or  materials as appropriate. Defects are characterized as well. If a part fails, high resolution images and detailed data profiles of the defects are made available for analysis. Reports describing overall and specific performance characteristics of the part and the production process are available at any time anywhere in your organization. Boulder Imaging supplies an easy to use interface for viewing defects and other stored inspection events, video, or images of defects. This allows a production manager or process engineer to identify and correct specific problems in real-time.

 

Continuous Process Inspection

With Vision Inspector technology, production processes that are continuously in motion can be inspected in-line, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with no slowdown. Boulder Imaging systems detect defects, non-uniformities, and characteristics in precision parts (metal, plastic, glass, rubber, etc.), web materials (such as paper), and coatings (such as paint, ink, film, etc.). 
As an in-line or off-line inspection solutions provide:

  • Micron-level inspection of surface quality and non-uniformities; including defects, inclusions, visual distortions, bevels, dimensional changes, contours, and structural features.
  • Analysis of spectral variation (light, reflection, or color).
  • Web/print inspection (registration, regularity, uniformity).

 

 

Parts Measurement

Boulder Imaging’s non-contact coordinate measuring machines (CMM) provide immediate, accurate, high-precision, micron-level parts inspection and measurement in-line or off-line. 

Our CMM systems do in seconds what previously required numerous laser and probe measurement devices and manual inspection tools (typically in multiple locations) and over 20-30 minutes to complete. Place the part into the inspection cell, then click a button to measure all part features down to the nearest micron.
