Quality Inspection Instruments

The Inspecta range of quality microscope componentsand modular systems provides an easy-to-engineer solution to the special inspection needs of many industries.

Where a standard microscope is not suitable, the Inspectaproducts can be selected and assembled to give exactlythe right optical viewing system. CCTV or digital camerasallow the system to be further enhanced. Pyser have designed the Inspecta range to be easily specified andassembled, and have created a series of proven solutionsto make it even easier to select the correct components.

Typical applications include tooling alignment, inspectionof machine wear, real-time automation system viewing, reaction or test chamber viewing and analysis, at-line oron-line inspection, and many more.

To create an instrument that will meet a specific requirement, a number of parameters need to be considered and specified:

Where will the instrument be sited?

Consider an application where a small component beingmachined on a lathe needs to be inspected/measuredwithout removing it from the chuck. In this situation, thelathe itself, the chuck and tooling may all restrict the sitingof the instrument. Consideration must also be given to theviewing position of the operator so as not to be dangerous.

It may be desirable to remove any viewing system awayfrom the work whilst machining operations are in progress,thus a boom arm might be the best option. Alternativelyone could opt for quick release fittings to remove the instrument completely.

One area that can be a problem is illumination at the pointwhere the specimen is located. There are numerous lighting systems available so most problems can be overcome.

What size detail do we need to see or measure?

The human eye can detect 0.5mm without optical aids,0.1mm (100μ) with say a x5 magnification and 0.01mm(10μ) with 50x magnification.

Selecting a x2 objective, a 150mm tube and a x10 eyepiece would give an instrument with 20x total magnification, allowing the observer to measure down tosay 20 microns over a useful field of 8mm and with a working distance of 70mm (Distance between objectivelens and component being viewed).

What measurements are required?

There are essentially three choices that allow measurements to be made. The simplest is having a reticle

fitted into the focussing eyepiece to provide straightforward measurements within a fixed field of view.Alternatively a CCTV camera can be included and connected to a screen which has a film overlay (like a profile projector) to do the measurement or comparison.The third option is to have a digital camera connected toa PC with image analysis software. An image is capturedand measurements performed using the software tools.

Reticles can be selected from a standard range that includes scales crosslines and grids in various sizes and formats. It should be noted that the pattern on the reticleneeds to be sized according to the objective magnification of the system, i.e. when using a x5 objective, a 0.1mm dimension on the specimen will appear as 0.5mm at the reticle image plane.

Where specific repeat measurements are to be made either for tolerancing or gauging, special patterns can bedesigned to simplify and speed up the operation.

Before choosing a reticle pattern it is important to consideragain what can be seen through the eyepiece. Generallythe same limitations apply as when choosing the magnification of the microscope. With a x10 eyepiece,lines separated by 0.1mm (100μ) are easily discerned andwith good lighting 50μ scale divisions can be read. Unfortunately, when overlaying the graticule pattern on thesubject, boundaries become obscured and the scale divisions merge with the details of the subject. If a specialpattern is envisaged it is better to have a standard patternfitted to the microscope in the first instance and then to assess whether the line spacing and thickness are right forthe task in hand. Where there is any doubt, it is better todiscuss the problems with our engineers and to submitsamples of your components for assessment in our workshops.

What is the most convenient viewing position?

For some applications a simple straight viewing tube wouldbe suitable and for others it may be necessary to have a45º or 90º angled head. The position for mounting the instrument, fixed obstructions, safety cages, etc, may allinfluence the choice of horizontal, vertical or angled viewing.

Does the instrument need to be focussed ormoveable?

Increasing the magnification of the system will always decrease the depth of field (the distance between thenearest and farthest objects on an image that are in focus)decreases.

If low magnification is required and the component is always in the same position and orientation, then the instrument could be focussed once by adjusting its position

in the mounting block and securing it tightly. If the magnification required is medium to high or if the component varies in position, then a focussing devicesuch as a rack and pinion unit will be essential.

Can the observer see sufficient area of the componentwithin the fixed field of view or should the instrument becapable of traversing the subject surface?

A larger fixed field of view can be achieved by selectinga 30mm eyepiece in place of a 23mm eyepiece. The instrument can traverse the subject by incorporating asecond and may be a third rack and pinion into themounting mechanism.

Do we need illumination?

It doesn’t matter how good the microscope optics are, theinstrument will be difficult to use if the subject being inspected is poorly illuminated. Lighting can be frombelow the subject, to give high contrast profiles, diffusefrom above to show surface detail, or concentrated directto emphasise critical features.

Many types of lighting produce heat which can be aproblem when making critical measurements or where thecomponent will be under the microscope for extendedperiods of time. In these cases cold fibre optic lighting orLED illumination is recommended. The colour of the illumination can enhance the visibility of some subjectsand special forms of illumination such as phase contrastand polarisation can be beneficial when dealing with difficult subjects.

Tungsten filament light sources tend to give a yellowish tintto the subject, but have low cost power supplies. Quartziodide, halogen and similar sources give whiter light andare readily available in ratings up to 150watts, but theyrequire more expensive power supplies. LED illuminationcan take the form of ring lights, arrays and can be linkedto fibre optic arms for more targeted lighting.

Is an erect image required?

A simple microscope consisting of objective, eyepieceand body tube produces an image that is reversed. Theobject appears back to front and upside down. In manyapplications this is acceptable as for example when themicroscope is to be used purely for alignment using acrosswire graticule or when a dedicated graticule is usedfor tolerancing.

If the microscope is to be used at high magnificationwhere the operation would have difficulty in positioningthe object, it is important that the object moves within thefield in the same direction as the operator anticipates. Anerect image would be recommended and would beachieved using a 45° or 90° viewing head or the straightview prism.

Can the operator work near the object beingviewed?

There are numerous instances where noise, vibration,fumes, spray, heat etc. would be hazardous for an operator looking into a microscope. Here remote viewingvia a CCTV or digital camera and monitor would be desirable. Television or computer link is also useful for instruction, reducing fatigue etc. Monochrome systemsare often adequate for profiles of the subject and givehigher contrast whereas colour can be beneficial whensurface detail is critical.

Do we need to capture the images?

In many quality control and materials handling environments it is both necessary and beneficial to capture the image of the item being inspected. In theseinstances a digital or CCTV can be fitted to the system.Digital cameras can be of the type available on the highstreet or specific microscope cameras that feed directlyinto a computer and are supplied with imaging software.These microscope camera have the advantage that theycan also perform measurements which are stored on boththe captured image and as tables that can be exportedto spreadsheet and other programmes. A CCTV camerawould need to feed into a computer through a framegrabber card to obtain captured images.
