Industry application
Metal and Surface Inspection
Lighting, camera and 3D routes for scratches, burrs, welds, gaps and surface geometry.
Related engineering route
Surface inspection system planning starts with lighting and worst-case samples.
A surface inspection system for metal parts must control reflection, scratch direction, burr visibility, weld profile and fixture variation. Deyi reviews lighting geometry, industrial camera route and 3D profile risk before quoting hardware.
- Lighting-first routeBar, coaxial, dome, backlight or dark-field tests before model lock.
- Worst-case samplesGood, bad and borderline surfaces from real production batches.
- 2D / 3D split2D for contrast defects; 3D when height, weld profile or gap matters.

Request engineering RFQIndustry FAQ
Common questions for metal and surface inspection engineering teams.
What should I send for a surface inspection system RFQ?
Send good, bad and borderline samples, worst-case surface finish, scratch or burr size, field of view, working distance, line speed, lighting restrictions and whether the defect is contrast-based or height-based.
Which inspection route is usually reviewed first for metal and surface inspection?
Review the production environment and failure mode first: Reflective surface control, Scratch and burr visibility, Height or profile measurement. Then map those needs to camera, lens, lighting, 3D, smart camera or barcode reader routes.
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.
Can Deyi Vision support projects that reference Keyence, Cognex or other brand routes?
Deyi Vision is not affiliated with those brands. As a factory-direct machine vision source, we can map the inspection goal, model reference and production route to a component-level camera, lens, light, reader or smart-camera selection.
