Surface360™

Surface360™

Surface360™ from Starrett-Bytewise is a breakthrough in surface inspection technology. Surface360™ is an inline inspection system that digitizes the extrusion and measures the true surface geometry in real-time.

Surface360™ delivers an exciting alternative to existing technology. It is built upon the industry-leading high-speed laser triangulation capabilities of Starrett- Bytewise's profile measurement platform, Profile360™. Because most surface defects in extrusion are actually small deformations, indentions, or protrusions of the profile, the method used by Surface360™ results in more accurate detection of surface flaws.

FEATURES

• High-speed laser triangulation
• Inspects geometrical deviations
• View 3D image in real-time
• Detect flaws down to 0.5mm

TECHNOLOGY

• Surface360™ utilizes laser triangulation at rates 100x faster than traditional cross-section profile measurement systems to detect small changes in surface geometry

SOFTWARE

• Advanced software displays your extrusion in 3D view to highlight flaws
• Quickly scroll through a defect history of 3D images with timestamps
• Define size and frequency of defects that constitute a rule violation for alarming/marking
• Set boundaries for the flaw detection, avoiding non-critical surfaces
• Geometrical-matching overcomes challenges when the part moves or rotates within the field-of-view to maintain consistent inspection
• View reports with statistics on defects for past runs
• No calibration or "part mastering" required!

OUTPUTS

• Light Tower with audible alarm brings immediate attention to problems
• Micro PLC is included to tie to marking or reject system, so that flawed parts are not packaged for shipment
