Scratch, burr, dent and reflective-surface contrast route

Best used when the metal finish changes from batch to batch and the lighting route must be proven before quoting.

Inspection challenge

What makes this scenario difficult?

Reflective metal surfaces can hide scratches and burrs unless the lighting geometry is matched to the defect direction and part movement.

Recommended route

Which component route should be reviewed first?

Start with bar, coaxial or dome lighting tests, then match the industrial camera, lens and trigger method to the verified contrast route.

Acceptance target

How should the result be validated?

3 lighting geometries compared before model selection

Case decision frame

Use this route only after the production constraint is measurable.

Anonymous cases are useful when they show the problem, constraints, hardware stack and evidence needed for a repeatable RFQ. Use these four fields to compare your project.

Problem

Reflective metal surfaces can hide scratches and burrs unless the lighting geometry is matched to the defect direction and part movement.

Production constraints

3 lighting geometries compared before model selection Worst-case defect samples photographed at line speed

Hardware stack

Bar / coaxial / dome lighting test set + Industrial 2D camera + Low-distortion lens + Trigger and reject output

Next evidence to send

Defect sample photo set, Lighting-angle test note, Line-speed constraint note

Inspection workflow

Steps to validate this application route before hardware selection.

The right product family depends on measurable samples, line conditions and acceptance criteria. Use this workflow to move from application idea to testable project evidence.

  1. Collect good and defect samples Keep representative good, scratched, burr and dent samples from the same finish range.
  2. Test dark-field and bright-field lighting Compare dark-field, bright-field, coaxial or dome lighting against the defect direction.
  3. Check motion blur at line speed Capture samples at target line speed to confirm exposure time and blur margin.
  4. Decide whether 2D contrast or 3D profile is needed Choose 2D contrast only when the defect is visible; use 3D profile when geometry is the proof.
Acceptance checks

What must be proven before the route is safe to quote.

  • 3 lighting geometries compared before model selection
  • Worst-case defect samples photographed at line speed
  • False-reject target agreed before fixture release

Trust evidence

Why this page is anonymous instead of naming a customer.

Many inspection projects expose product defects, line speed and factory process details. Deyi Vision therefore publishes anonymized delivery evidence routes and keeps customer names, drawings and plant photos protected unless the buyer approves disclosure.

Application FAQ

Ask engineering
Is automotive metal surface defect inspection a named customer case study?

No. This page is an anonymized delivery evidence route for automotive reflective metal inspection. It explains project type, hardware stack, sample evidence and measurable checks without claiming a named customer deployment.

What should I send for a automotive metal surface defect inspection RFQ?

Send defect sample photo set, lighting-angle test note, line-speed constraint note, fixture mounting envelope. Include good and bad samples whenever possible so engineering can test the route before recommending hardware.

Which product families are usually involved?

Machine Vision Lighting, Industrial 2D Cameras, 3D Vision Cameras are the first product families to review, but the final route depends on sample images, speed, tolerance and installation space.

What information should I send before requesting a machine vision quote?

Send part photos or drawings, target defect or measurement goal, field of view, working distance, line speed, accuracy target, lighting limits and any current camera, lens, light, barcode reader or competitor model.

Do I need a 2D or 3D machine vision system?

Use 2D when contrast, edges, labels or position are enough to judge the part. Use 3D when height, profile, gap, volume, weld shape or surface geometry decides pass or fail.

How should I choose machine vision lighting?

Start from the defect and material surface instead of the camera model. Backlight helps edge measurement, coaxial and dome lighting help reflective surfaces, and bar or ring lighting often works for general presence and defect checks.
