Inspection Machines Pt. 2

Manufacturing Quality Control

  • Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM): Used for precise measurement of the geometry of physical objects by sensing discrete points on the surface with a probe.
  • Optical Comparator (Profile Projector): Projects a magnified image of a part onto a screen for measurement and inspection purposes.
  • Vision Inspection Systems: Automated machines that use cameras and image processing software to inspect and measure parts.
  • X-ray Inspection Systems: Non-destructive inspection machines that use X-rays to see inside parts and products for defects such as cracks or voids.
  • 3D Scanning Systems: Capture the shape of physical objects using laser or structured light, creating a digital 3D representation for analysis.
  • Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) Machine: Used in electronics manufacturing to inspect PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) for defects.
  • Leak Detection Systems: Designed to detect leaks in packaging, containers, and products using various techniques including pressure decay and vacuum decay.
  • Surface Roughness Testers: Measure the texture or roughness of a surface to ensure it meets specified criteria.

Research Labs in Universities and Biomedical Labs

  • Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM): Provides high-resolution imaging of surfaces by scanning the surface with a focused beam of electrons.
  • Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM): Uses electrons transmitted through a specimen to form an image, enabling the study of the internal structure of thin specimens.
  • Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope: Offers high-resolution images of material and biological specimens by eliminating out-of-focus light.
  • High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Systems: Used for separating, identifying, and quantifying components in a liquid mixture.
  • Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) Systems: Combines the features of gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry to identify different substances within a test sample.
  • Real-Time PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) Systems: Amplifies and simultaneously quantifies a targeted DNA molecule, important for genetic research and diagnostics.
  • Flow Cytometers: Analyze the physical and chemical characteristics of particles in a fluid as it passes through at least one laser.
  • Automated Cell Counters: Used for fast and precise cell counting and viability analysis in life science research.
  • Spectrophotometers: Measure the amount of light absorbed by a sample material, widely used in molecular biology, chemistry, and biochemistry labs.

These machines represent the cutting edge of inspection and measurement technology across diverse industries and research fields. Each plays a crucial role in ensuring quality, advancing research, and facilitating innovation.
