Visual Inspection Test Sets

A Visual Inspection Test Set typically consists of a mix of defect-free units and others intentionally equipped with known defects. These defects might range from particles of specific sizes to physical damages like scratches or improper sealing. The primary purpose of these test sets is to evaluate the probability of defect detection, validate automated systems and train inspectors. 

The inserted particles can vary in nature and size, ranging from glass or rubber splinters of around 80 microns to fibres of up to 3000 microns. Each particle is measured using ultramicroscopic techniques to determine its size, usually in micrometers (µm). But also other product characteristics can be taken into account such as colour, turbidity, surface tension of viscosity. We can develop and produce placebos to mimic your product. The measurement data for each particle and test set is documented. Ultramicroscopic images with dimensions of each particle are included.

eyetec also produces other product defects, including overfilled and underfilled samples, turbidity or colour variations and container defects such as cracks, scratches, or cap and crimp defects.
