Interferometry for Online/In-Process Surface Inspection
نویسنده
چکیده
Interferometers are normally operated in environment-controlled optical laboratories because vibrations will induce errors in measurement results. In order to extend the application of interferometry to shop floor inspection, two methods are adapted: one method is to introduce a reference interferometer and vibration compensation system to the main interferometer, to compensate for the environmental disturbance; and the other method is to realize the data sample in just one image shot. Each method has its own applications. With the advances of these technologies, the use of interferometry as a highly accurate and fast measurement method will become more common in shop floor measurements and inspections.

Automatic Detection and Localization of Surface Cracks in Continuously Cast Hot Steel Slabs Using Digital Image Analysis Techniques
Quality inspection is an indispensable part of modern industrial manufacturing. Steel as a major industry requires constant surveillance and supervision through its various stages of production. Continuous casting is a critical step in the steel manufacturing process in which molten steel is solidified into a semi-finished product called slab. Once the slab is released from the casting unit, th...
متن کاملCylindrical Lenses Based Spectral Domain Low-Coherence Interferometry for On-line Surface Inspection
This paper presents a spectral domain low-coherence interferometry (SD-LCI) method that is effective for applications in on-line surface inspection because it can obtain a surface profile in a single shot. It has an advantage over existing spectral interferometry techniques because it uses cylindrical lenses as the objective lens in a Michelson interferometric configuration to enable the measur...

We introduce a new environmentally robust optical interferometry system for fast surface profile measurement. The proposed white light channelled spectrum Interferometer (WLCSI) is effective for applications in on-line surface inspection because it can obtain a surface profile in a single shot. Compared to the traditional spectral interferometry techniques, cylindrical lens is used in the Miche...
متن کاملComparative study between online and offline defect assessment methods for roll to roll flexible PV modules
Flexible PV modules are manufactured using roll to roll (R2R) technology. These modules require a flexible barrier material to prevent water vapor ingress. The basic methodology to produce such barriers is to combine oxide layer (e.g. AlOx) coating with suitable polymer substrates. However, micro and nano scale defects can appear at any stage of the coating process thus affecting the module eff...
متن کاملNew developments in fast 3D-surface quality control
Inspection is the process of determining if a product deviates from a given set of specifications. Fast inspection usually involves measurement of specific part features such as assembly integrity, geometric dimensions and surface finish. It is a quality control task, but is distinguished from testing tasks. The visual inspection of 3D parts (car body parts) is a special task within manufacturi...
