Automated Surface Inspection for Glossy Components
Flawlessly glossy surfaces are among the most important quality features of many premium products. The smallest surface defects immediately have a degrading effect on the product. The result: disappointed end customers or buyers. At the same time, reflective surfaces are often very sensitive and a challenge for optical metrology. A manual inspection is tedious, expensive, and ultimately always governed by subjective decision criteria. During production, faulty painting or coating processes can cause high scrap rates. Defects that are not detected even during the final inspection can lead to expensive complaints and, in the worst case, to the loss of the customer. Only an efficient, automated surface inspection achieves the highest quality at acceptable costs.
