Micro-Epsilon reflectCONTROL Compact reflective surface inspection

Click2Contact

Applications such as touchscreens, instrumentation and controls in cars are built to the expectation of being free from damage. However, the inspection of these parts is often carried out only via visual inspection, which means in many cases the results are unclear and lack accuracy, but reflecting surfaces also pose challenges to automated surface inspection.

The Micro-Epsilon reflectCONTROL Compact is designed for inspection of these types of surfaces and can automatically log and store results to enable objective comparisons.

The fully integrated system is available in two versions that each provide different measuring fields. The 2D version recognises defects on reflecting surfaces, while the 3D version allows the measurement of reflecting surfaces at sub-micrometre accuracies. This device can be used individually in a laboratory environment as well as directly in production lines.

All components are integrated in a compact device with height-adjustable legs. The housing includes a monitor for the striped pattern protection and up to two cameras. In order to avoid interference from ambient light, the measuring field can be darkened on all of the four sides. This operation is performed via touchscreen or mouse and keyboard that can be connected via USB.

The reflectCONTROL Compact reflecting surface inspector can be integrated into a production line via an Ethernet interface, while a digital I/O interface enables triggering. An external operating monitor can be connected via VGA.
