Glass Inspection

Like metals and alloy inspection, glass inspection is challenging due to its refractive composition. Fortunately, Boulder Imaging has extensive experience in handling the inspection of glass surfaces of various types.

 We provide both in-line and off-line inspection for:

    • Thickness of glass at any temperature
    • Minute (micron level) defects, inclusions, or visual distortions
    • Bevels or other dimensional changes
    • Contours and structural features

Metal Inspection & Alloys Inspection

The inspection of metals or alloys requires special knowledge and skill when it comes to parts handling and lighting. No matter the shape (cylindrical, round, or even odd shaped metals or alloys) our Vision Inspector solutions will provide you with precise quality control. Obtain real-time, accurate, in-line or off-line detection and classification of the following defect types at any stage of manufacturing.

Obtain quick ROI by eliminating surface defects as well as guaranteeing parts adhere to specifications. Our Vision Inspector Premier addresses both surface inspection as well as metrology so that your metal, aluminum, steel, and other alloy component or part is 100% perfect every single time.

  • Dents
  • Variations in thickness
  • Impurities
  • Voids 
  • Scratches
  • Pin Holes
  • Bubbles
  • Spots
  • Warps
  • Contours and structural features

Rubber Inspection

Boulder Imaging's Vision Inspector solutions address rubber inspection and rubber quality control requirements. Rubber materials often can be difficult due to the need to examine raised letters, OCR, color on color and other such challenges.

We have extensive experience at handling all these challenges and many others. 

 rubber

Obtain rubber inspection, even for irregular shaped parts, that identifies surface defects as well as ensures that all parts adhere to specific metrology requirements. Defect types are categorized and information regarding those defects can be stored for extensive detailed review and reporting. Identify a range of rubber defects such as:
  • Injection molding defects (flash, warping, bubbles, sink or injector marks)
  • Excess material
  • Minute (micron level) defects, inclusions, or visual distortions
  • Wall thicknesses
  • Contours and structural features
  • And much more

    Quality Control Inspection of Materials

    Boulder Imaging's line of Vision inspector systems is designed to address the diverse needs of all materials when it comes to Quality Control inspection. Every material has its own unique attributes as well as defect types. We address inspection challenges by dividing defect types into the primary categories of (1) Surface Inspection (Vision Inspector Beacon); (2) Metrology (Vision Inspector Benchmark); (3) Combination of Both Surface Inspection and Metrology (Vision Inspector Premier).  

    Specialized Materials Inspection

    Surface of materials plays a significant role in visual inspection. Each surface will require special lighting considerations in order to capture optimal imagery for accurate inspection results. Fortunately, Boulder Imaging is expert when it comes to handling just these types of visual acquisition challenges. So, whether you have metal, glass, coatings, polymers, woven or non-woven web materials we will provide you a solution to meet your inspection demands.

    Categorization, Reporting, & More

    Images of defects are captured and retained. They can be utilized for various purposes including root cause analysis, adjusting inputs, presentation to suppliers, and much more. Reporting provides you with aggregate information that can be collected from a single point or from all Vision Inspector systems to gain company-wide insight into defect and quality status. Detect and tliminate defect trends and patterns from recurring. Isolate out problematic processes and ensure that your product meets specification 100% of the time. 

    Off-Line & In-Line Solutions

    Each of our three solutions (Beacon, Benchmark, & Premier) can perform in either an off-line or on-line capacity. This means that no matter your material we can accommodate and adjust to your manufacturing production and quality control processes. 

    100% Inspection

    There's no longer a need to be limited to spot inspection. By placing our in-line inspection cells at various points in your production processes you can immediately remove defective products and gain intelligence to adjust your manufacturing processes to reduce defects into the future.
