Gelsight scratch detection Elastomeric Imaging applications

Industries

A portable handheld 3D topography measurement system for gauging surface scratches and defects, including those on fuselages.

GelSight Mobile™ is a handheld instrument that precisely visualises and measures the 3D topography of any surface, revealing microscopic structures that are difficult to see under ordinary circumstances. The tool can be used on any surface, including metal or glass, due to GelSight’s elastomeric sensor.

A portable and non-destructive technique for quality control of surface features of aero-structures, cowlings, engine fan blades, windshields and other surfaces.

Key Features

Rapid results: 3D measurements and data file provided within seconds of capture.
Simple results: A simple pass or fail for the operator.
Handheld: Ergonomic and easy-to-use for immediate data in the field or on the factory floor.
Precise: Incredibly detailed and reliable micron-level 3D measurements.
Versatile: Measure any material (metal, glass, carbon fibre) or surface (reflective, transparent).
Highly-accurate: Quantitative 3D data for entire surface vs. depth gauge or 2D profilometer
Cost-Saving: Reduces waste/scrap and non-quality costs and capital need for inventory.
Improves: Throughput and productivity for high-cost parts; enhances documentation/audit trail of data for later reference.

Aerospace: Inspect more of the engine without decommissioning and analyse scratches, corrosion, weld points and defects.
MRO: For use during the maintenance, repair and overhaul section of aerospace.
Automotive: Brake disc analysis, texture analysis, fabric analysis for the weave of the fabric, camshaft imperfections and grooves.
Additive manufacturing
Smartphone manufacturing: Analyse imperfections on transparent material such as glass touch screens.
Medical device manufacturing: Analyse transparent components – pipets.
Medical Human Application: Analyse how wounds heal – scar tissue – on human skin soft gel.
Forensics: Analyse crime scene ballistics, gun barrels, cartridges and fingerprints.
Sunglasses: Measure highly reflective material glasses, components or consumer electronics.
Counterfeit investigation: Verify coins.
Museums: Analyse artefacts.

Gel cartridges are reusable but will need to be replaced when worn these can be bought separately.

Multiple types of gel are available to aid specific applications.
