SEOUL, South Korea, Jan. 22, 2025 — DEEDIIM Sensors Co., Ltd., a surface inspection machine vision sensor specialist, introduced two compact sensor models at the Suwon Production Automation Exhibition (SMATEC) last November. These new models, approximately half the size of their predecessors, are designed for small-scale, high-precision surface inspections, maintaining performance while fitting into confined spaces. Despite their size, they offer a relatively wide inspection area and include detachable coaxial illumination for enhanced versatility and user-friendliness.
Currently, many surface inspections rely on manual visual checks due to the difficulties in lighting complex shapes and diverse defect characteristics. This manual approach hinders smart factory implementation due to inconsistent, subjective assessments and a lack of digital data capture.
DEEDIIM Sensors’ Surf.Finder addresses these challenges. This surface inspection sensor uses Free Illumination and Surface-Property-Imaging technologies. Free Illumination allows flexible lighting setup and control tailored to the product’s dimensions, form, and material, accommodating diverse inspection needs. Surface-Property-Imaging, leveraging optical principles and algorithms, simultaneously delivers seven data points on surface condition (reflectivity, roughness, inclination, etc.). This enables defect detection and classification (stains, scratches, dents) with selective defect observation, improving efficiency, accuracy, and reliability.
The demand for precise inspection solutions is surging in sectors like electric vehicle batteries, semiconductors, and smartphones. DEEDIIM Sensors is responding with compact machine vision sensors designed for various customer needs. These new products, ideal for space-constrained environments, are anticipated to be highly sought after for precise inspection and automated quality control.
The compact models, Surf.Finder-MS and Surf.Finder-ML (with coaxial illumination options in Surf.Finder-MS-C and Surf.Finder-ML-C), cater to different needs. The MS model suits small, rough-surfaced items (semiconductors, smartphone parts), while the ML-C model is suited for flat, shiny materials like displays and films with curved edges.
Illustrative images showcase Surf.Finder’s defect detection capabilities, highlighting horizontal and vertical scratches and dents on plastic molded parts. The comparison demonstrates how Surf.Finder’s advanced solution clearly distinguishes defects that are not easily visible under standard lighting due to surface properties and brightness variations.
A DEEDIIM Sensors representative stated that the Surf.Finder compact models optimize space utilization and inspection flexibility, emphasizing their commitment to delivering customized precision inspection solutions. With these new products, DEEDIIM Sensors aims to solidify its market position and offer superior technology to both domestic and international clients.
