Vision Inspector™ Beacon - Surface Defect Detection | Surface Inspection

Vision Inspector Beacon is Boulder Imaging’s intelligent machine vision solution that detects surface defects, non-uniformities, and other characteristics in precision parts (metal, plastic, glass, rubber, etc.), web materials (such as paper), coated surfaces (including Hegman gauge analysis), and coatings (such as paint, ink, film, etc.). Beacon performs multiple micron-accurate inspections at a single point in your production process. You can eliminate multiple smart camera systems with this integrated solution that provides centralized reporting on defect types, locations, frequency, and other critical quality metrics. Beacon is easy to set up, easy to use, and generates less false positives than any other product in the industry.

  Vision Inspector Beacon as an in-line or off-line inspection solution provides:

• Micron-level inspection of surface quality (including cylindrical surfaces) and non-uniformities.
• Defect detection.
• Analysis of spectral variation (light, reflection, or color).
• Web/print inspection (registration, regularity, uniformity).

Vision Inspector Beacon scans a part, coated surface, coating, or web material and instantly analyzes the surface for defects, non-uniformities, and other characteristics. Defects can include chips, bubbles, inclusions, scratches, dents, non-registration, pops, seeds, craters, or any other non-uniformity. Beacon can also inspect thickness of coatings on just about any type of material.

Beacon categorizes products into pass or fail and sorts products as appropriate. If a part fails, a high resolution image and a detailed data profile of the defects are made available for analysis. Reports are generated describing overall and specific performance characteristics of the parts or materials, giving you unprecedented intelligence about your entire production process.

Beacon provides the industry-leading interface for easy set-up and analysis, identifying trends in defect types and frequency, and the ability to diagnose root cause and recommend corrective action. This allows you to take corrective action in real-time.
