Challenges in Practice

Invisible defects.
Visible consequences.

For high-precision components, defects measured in micrometers can determine whether the final product functions properly. Scratches, deformations, inclusions, or contaminants on the component surface can compromise joining processes, mechanical strength, and leak tightness.

The consequences range from costly rework and scrap to product liability risks and safety issues in the field.

Manual visual inspection is the weakest link in this process: it is subjective, susceptible to fatigue, not scalable, and simply no longer feasible as throughput increases.

Scratches & Grooves

Linear surface defects that interfere with joining processes and act as crack initiators under operational loads.

Deformations & Waviness

Geometric deviations that disrupt tolerance chains and compromise dimensional accuracy.

Contaminants & Particles

Oil, dust, and particle residues that compromise coatings, welds, and adhesive bonds.

Pores, Cracks & Inclusions

Material inhomogeneities that fail under load, often becoming visible only after delivery.

Real-world inspection tasks: from component checks to growth analysis and parcel detection.

Results in Production Use

“The inspection system outperforms manual inspection in both speed and accuracy. The step-by-step rollout ensured strong acceptance on the shop floor and at the same time created a robust image database for making complex inspection tasks even more industry-ready in the future.”

Our Solution

From manual inspection
to full automation.

Grünspecht Vision Labs develops camera-based inspection systems that are precisely tailored to your components and your level of automation: modular, scalable, and validated.

01

Validation & Data Foundation

Integration as a manual inspection station and creation of a component-specific defect library. Initial measurable results, obtained without any risk to production, form the basis for all subsequent steps.

02

Automatic Defect Detection

Real-time classification with operator feedback: defects are flagged, displayed, and confirmed. The model continuously learns from every correction.

03

Full Automation

Automated loading and unloading and full inline integration, with no operator required. The data foundation also supports predictive maintenance and continuous process optimization.

Why It Works

A technical edge
for your production.

Simultaneous Two-Channel Imaging

Bright-field and dark-field imaging in a single run: complete surface information without any loss of time.

Adaptable to Any Part Geometry

Component-specific configuration for both flat components and textured surfaces.

Adaptive Algorithms

Operator corrections continuously improve the model. Recognition performance increases as the dataset grows.

Audit-Proof Logging

Complete documentation of every inspection as the basis for audits and quality records in accordance with ISO and IATF.
