THICKNESS MEASUREMENT
FibreEYE allows for intelligent fibre density analysis throughout the lay-up process.
FibreEYE
State of the art in-process composite inspection system
The ‘FibreEYE’ Composite Inspection System is a state of the art system designed for in-process verification of the composite fibre deposition process.
FibreEYE provides in situ material defect detection and precise placement verification during the composite layup process. It uses advanced imaging combined with Artificial Intelligence to create a comprehensive inspection system. It is able to identify and classify edges, joints, material defects and foreign object debris (FOD). The unique sensor arrangement allows the customer to quicky and accurately map the ‘as laid’ boundary of each ply, as well as achieving quality assurance on the integrity of the material.
Key capabilities
Technical specification
The system is designed to detect the following surface anomalies:
Adjacent scans are analysed and features spanning more than one scan are concatenated into a single anomaly.
Profile capture at 800FPS. Typical application speeds:
| Path speed (mm/s) | Resolution in direction of travel (mm) | Scan resolution (μm) | Height resolution (μm) |
| 1000 | 1.25 | 55 | 27 |
| 500 | 0.63 | 55 | 27 |
| 250 | 0.32 | 55 | 27 |
| 100 | 0.13 | 55 | 27 |
