Inspection & Metrology - Groove Profile Measurement

Opus has developed a system for imaging and measuring deep grooves. It consists of a two laser beam illumination system. The first beam is a broad parallel beam which illuminates the surface. The second beam is focused close to the surface such that as it enters the groove it will illuminate the sides of the groove. The existing mechanical handling system is designed for the inspection of grooves in cylindrical parts. It uses a precision linear rail which transports the object to the mechanical stop.

Previously our client had to make epoxy mould of the grooves in order to check their manufacturing process. This new system offered a much quicker measurement method thereby reducing wastage and factory downtime
