Visual Inspection of Gears and Sintered Parts | How to Identify Chipping, Dents, and Burrs
In the visual inspection of gears and sintered parts, we look for chipping at the tooth tips, dents on the tooth surfaces, burrs, and common issues such as corner chipping and surface voids in the sintered body. Chipping can be seen in 2D as a lack of contour, while the depth of dents and height of burrs are better assessed in 3D. Since rough surfaces and shiny surfaces coexist, it is necessary to consider different approaches for capturing images of each surface.
【Key Points】
- Chipping is a lack of contour and can be seen in 2D.
- For assessing the depth of dents and height of burrs, 3D is more suitable.
- Rough surfaces and shiny surfaces should be considered separately in terms of imaging.
