What is component inspection?
Component inspection is the process of verifying that a part is free of particles and ready to be used. Inspection before and after a cleaning process is typical, especially as parts may need to enter further essential manufacturing stages.
Visual inspection is common in every sector. These inspections are
quick and done by eye to identify obvious issues like large cracks,
burrs, or irregularities. But for more high-performance parts or
smaller components, a more powerful inspection method may be necessary.
These in-depth evaluations use high-end testing equipment to analyse and reveal hidden particles.
Importance of component inspection
Microscopic contaminants can and do compromise part performance or longevity.
Inspection typically occurs after cleaning and coating processes to confirm a part isn’t defective through contamination. Our technologies can be used to:
- Discover if contaminants could hamper performance.
- Measure the quantity, size, and shape of residual particles.
- Analyse component cleanliness with software.
MicroQuick Particle Scanner
Trust our robust inspection scanners to see what the naked eye can’t, and be sure your parts are ready for their final destination.
The MicroQuick Particle measures debris on component surfaces in under 2 minutes, and is compliant with VDA-19 & ISO-16232 standards.
