reflectControl This compact deflectometry sensor from Micro-Epsilon can inspect and take full-surface measurements of shiny, highly reflective and transparent flat surfaces. Capable of detecting surface anomalies such as scratches, dust and notches, the sensor can be integrated as a stationary system or attached to a robot. Models are available for 2D and 3D evaluation.
What's new? The technology.
Benefits High-resolution inspection of shiny surfaces. The sensor can provide detailed analysis of the surface quality of parts and detect even very small deviations, and using it can save a great deal of time over manual inspection. According to the company, the technology is easily integrated in all common 3D image-processing packets.
