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
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.
Example: needle in multi-directional composite non-crimp fabric
Example: weaving irregularity in carbon non-crimp weave
EasyInspect and EasyMeasure for composite materials inspection can be used for many applications, such as
- Rovings, tows
- Carbon fiber / glass fiber mats
- Carbon / glass non-crimp fabrics (uni- and multidirectional)
- Carbon / glass fiber textiles
- Prepregs
