MASC - Modular Algorithms for Surface Control

Fraunhofer ITWM

In many areas, the quality of a product depends on the quality of its surface. A unified approach is difficult due to the variety of possible surfaces. The quality of almost every type of surface is measured individually, depending on very different properties.

In order to meet the requirements of such a large number of possible applications, we have developed the modular system MASC - Modular Algorithms for Surface Control comprising a large number of tools and system components ready for use. The components are organized according to a modular structure, thus offering an appropriate basis for almost every individual task concerning surface inspection.

Goals

  • early detection of product defects
  • quality control without interrupting the production process
  • online defect detection and classification
  • long time quality protocols and statistics
  • objective quality criteria

We offer

  • customised inspection systems
  • mathematical algorithms for different materials
  • a software library
  • an image processing lab
  • consulting and
  • feasibility studies
