42 Technology and INFICON AG, a leading industrial sensor companies, have worked together on a new automated inspection technology that can reliably detect all scratches of more than 10 microns in width on polished glass surfaces in under one second.
The new scratch detection technology is being used by INFICON to partly automate a critical quality control task involved in the production of helium leak detection sensors. It will help to make the current manual inspection process used for glass sensor components easier, faster and less tiring for the manufacturing technicians involved. The system will also help INFICON to further improve product quality, as well as boosting its manufacturing efficiency and production capacity.
