Replace subjective visual evaluation with objective measurement maps for superior control of surface quality. Utilize phase-stepped deflectometry to quantify curvature and texture, identifying common defects accurately and efficiently. The system produces detailed 3D images and can display results in traceable units. Enhance quality control and eliminate errors caused by visual inspection.

Coatings Quality Stamping Visual Control Final Inspection Assembly Components
Visual Control • Subjective • Time Consuming • Costly • Lacks Traceability • Not reliable – Monday morning vs. Friday afternoon! • A real measurement system is required
Maps, measures and quantifies surface appearance quality • Produces detailed full field 3D surface images • Objectively measures surface curvature and texture • Displays images in traceable SI units (m¯1) or in standard industrial scales • Identifies and locates common surface defects • Requires no movement over the surface • Removes errors caused through subjective visual evaluation
MeasurementPrinciple • Phase Stepped Deflectometry. • A white light optical technique • provides fast, full field, non contact surface measurement. • A periodic sinusoidal waveform is projected onto the surface • and the reflected image captured.
MeasurementPrinciple • The pattern acts like a ruler across the surface • allowing the surface ordinates to be mapped. • By phase stepping the pattern across the surface in both directions • each point on the surface is spatially modelled • to accurately calculate the curvature at each point.
Slopes and Curvatures • Why • Consider a surface (green) compared to its normal shape • An observer is unlikely to notice the gradual variation across the whole surface • But will notice the sharp deviation
Slopes and Curvatures • The second derivative of the surface produces a curvature profile which is more representative of what the human eye really sees • Altitude • Slope • Curvature Wavelength
