Objective assessment of high-gloss surfaces that matches human perception
High-quality surfaces such as wood veneer play an important role as lightweight decorative parts for the aviation industry. These surfaces are high-gloss lacquered, the quality of which is a critical parameter during acceptance tests of such parts by OEMs.
In conventional quality control procedures, measurement instruments are used which provide typical properties such as surface roughness or gloss level, etc. Although these parameters are often within the specified tolerance levels, the surfaces may not look good enough to the human eye.
Solution
D-SCAN is a proven surface characterization sensor that matches human perception of high-gloss surfaces. The portable sensor is based on a CMOS sensor with integrated data processing and captures a 2-dimensional image instead of just a linear profile. For each application, the sensor will be calibrated on a set of sample surfaces that were evaluated by quality control experts.
These manual evaluations are represented in mathematical models which are then the basis for the characterization of the surface properties and an objective and accurate measurement of high-gloss surfaces resulting in a single score for good/bad decisions.
