SectorInspector – Inspection System for large flat surfaces

SectorInspector for inspection of large flat surfaces

Gräfelfing, 20.01.2009. Opto Sonderbedarf GmbH is pleased to announce the delivery and installation of the first of its brand new SectorInspector range to one of Europes leading photovoltaic module manufacturers.

In addition to other manufacturers of flat, large area, high technology products such as LCD & plasma display manufacturers, Photovoltaics manufacturers, especially those involved with the latest thin-film based technologies, are faced with a series of increasingly challenging tasks when performing detailed high magnification inspection of their finished products.

Often, system-critical features such as micro-machined channels, micro circuits, interconnects, pixels, micro defects and other microscopic features, present a number of unique inspection challenges, requiring perfectly optimised illumination, flexible magnification, as well as precision positioning control of the object itself.

The SectorInspector system has been developed by Opto specifically to address these exact needs, enabling flexible, high resolution, high power magnification and inspection of microscopic features on large, planar samples, particularly large photovoltaic modules with dimensions of 1200 x 640 mm in this particular case.

With versatility included as standard, SectorInspector offers the ultimate combination of perfectly optimised microscopic video inspection and illumination technologies integrated into one, easy to use system which is able to operate autonomously for continuous inline inspection, or manually for detailed offline research and development. To complement this feature set, SectorInspector ships with its own comprehensive software suite, enabling fully programmable control over magnification, illumination parameters, cameras, and precision sample positioning.

As with all Opto systems, customisation to your exact requirements is the foundation of our business, and SectorInspector can be easily adapted to almost any large area inspection application.

Whatever your inspection challenges, the Opto team are ready to assist!
