Visual/imaging System that can aid in detecting surface anomalies on cylindrical objects.

[[Ri...]]

We have a family of parts that are cylindrical, from quite small to about 5 inches in length.

Most are probably in the range of Ø.25 to Ø.75 (Inch) Surface finishes are typically 8Ra or less.

Currently we are using a RondCom to scan the OD for Roundness, etc. We are finding a need to detect surface anomalies after OD grinding.

I would guess a camera system that could compare images of GOOD and BAD. (Bad being pre-determined).

Has anyone used a Visual/Imaging system that may be capable?

Specifically, for measuring roundness, etc.? Or just surface finish? Keyence 8000 with rotary. which has an Impressive high-resolution camera.

I think they start at around 60k.

We only need visual imaging.

We won't need a rotary; I plan on using a system in line with the RondCom (Has its own rotary table).

The plan is to scan on the RondCom and simultaneously image the part with a visual system.

Thats the plan...🤫
