ML 3000 Inspection System

The ML-3000™ daylight fluorescent scanner provides fast and accurate detection of fluorescence signals in environments with strong background light.

This revolutionary inspection system for the aerospace, automotive and associated industrial sectors, provides 100% QA , and improved gauge R&R, typically cutting inspection costs by 90%, with a payback period from as little as few months.

Description

The ML-3000™ Mixed Light system is totally unique and can detect and extract fluorescence signals with intensity levels less than 20-lux, from background daylight of up to 100,000-lux!

This disruptive technology introduces a step-change in reducing processing times and improves standards and consistency in quality audits and inspections for both MPI (Magnetic-Particle Inspection) and (FPI) Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection techniques.

The ML-3000™ is equally applicable to the inspection of forgings, castings, extrusions etc. which are too big or too heavy to be moved into a darkened inspection room. The system’s software automatically all defects and keeps permanent record of results, for 100% quality audit and compliance purposes.

“Mixed Light” inspection is the term given to an advanced technique developed by Inspection Tech, which uniquely enables the detection of the very small levels of light emitted from fluorescent penetrant dyes against a background light. This completely removes the need for a separate darkroom or inspection cell and reduces manpower and floorspace. The removal of these production bottlenecks significantly increases throughput rates at inline inspection points and penetrant inspection can be performed at any stage of manufacture, irrespective of background light conditions.

The ML-3000™ system also augments its unique daylight inspection capability with our world-beating software, it can replace a human inspector and automatically identify regions of interest for the operator and provides false-colour overlays on top of visual images of the inspected part.
