Composite Material Inspection

EasyInspect for composite material inspection is a complete solution for the detection of defects in carbon and glass fiber materials for highly demanding applications. It examines 100% of the composite material surface for local defects.

EasyMeasure continuously monitors the complete material width for variations in material homogeneity, grammage and mechanical stability.

Typical defects in composite material production include:

Gaps / outstanding fibers in rovings and tows
Contaminations, e.g. particles, foreign fibers
Missing / wrong stitches
Fuzz balls
Irregular fiber distribution (thick / thin spots, holes / gaps)
Missing / broken threads
Streaks
Wrinkles

Composite material: carbon fiber

EasyInspect for composite material inspection uses MIDA, ABI (Adaptive Background Illumination) and Virtual X-Ray technology to deliver optimum inspection results. The background illumination intensity can be adapted to different materials for perfect optical compensation of material noise. Combined with Virtual X-Ray, an illumination with ultra-high light intensity and high-power LEDs, this is especially effective for detection and classification of e.g. small foreign material inclusions.
