Surface Inspection

Before assembly, high quality painted parts such as mobile phone covers must be checked for surface defects.

The ZIRKON inspection system offers a fully automated solution for this inspection process. It identifies errors in lacquer by examining the outer layer in its entirety and generates a binary quality signal for each tested casing. Additionally, a statistical summary of error distribution during inspection can be generated for any period of the inspection process. Therefore, possibilities of optimizing the production process can immediately be recognized and implemented.

The following categories of errors are especially relevant for the inspection of mobile phone covers:

• Inclusions of contaminants
  Inclusions of dust, lint, or residual paint on the lacquer surface are the most common causes of defect.

• Mechanical damaging
  Errors such as scratches in the lacquer are detected.

• Adherence defects
  Bubbles in the lacquer are detected.
