honeycombINSPECT - Revolutionary inspection of honeycomb structures

The integration of the 1inch version of our light field sensor in honeycombINSPECT enables a remarkably compact system design, which is particularly advantageous in confined production environments. The light field sensor not only captures extremely precise 3D data of the complex honeycomb structure, but also serves as a navigation tool for other integrated sensors. This dual functionality significantly increases the flexibility of the system and enables a comprehensive, multi-dimensional inspection of the honeycomb structures.

The precise depth calculation in honeycombINSPECT enables the filling height in the individual honeycomb cells to be accurately determined, which is essential for ensuring the correct material distribution and functionality of the honeycomb structure. In addition, foreign bodies that may enter the cells during the manufacturing process are reliably detected. This capability is critical to ensure the quality and integrity of the honeycomb structure, as contaminants or incorrect fill levels can significantly affect the performance and lifetime of the end product.

Our specially developed honeycomb sensor, which is integrated into honeycombINSPECT, performs a detailed inspection of the integrity of the cell walls. This inspection is crucial to ensure that the honeycomb structure meets the required quality standards. In addition to testing the cell walls, the gap-free connection of the cell walls to the base plate is also checked. This check is crucial as an incomplete or faulty connection can compromise the structural integrity of the honeycomb structure. This comprehensive inspection ensures that there are no cracks, breaks or other damage in the cell walls or at the connection to the base plate. This is crucial to ensure the functionality and longevity of the honeycomb structure.

A powerful, specially trained artificial intelligence (AI) is at the heart of defect detection in honeycombINSPECT. It analyzes the complex geometry of the honeycomb cells with the highest precision and automatically detects deformations, deviations from the target geometry and other irregularities. This automated analysis enables extremely fast and reliable defect detection that goes far beyond the capabilities of manual inspections. The AI is able to identify even the finest defects that would be very hard to see for the human eye, making a significant contribution to quality assurance and process optimization.

The user-friendly user interface (UI) of honeycombINSPECT is designed to display all detected defects for each individual honeycomb and its partitions in detailed form. This clear and concise presentation makes the system easy and intuitive to use, even for users without in-depth technical knowledge. Interactive visualizations not only display the defects textually or numerically, but also highlight them visually. This makes fault analysis much easier, as users can quickly identify and assess the type and location of defects. The combination of detailed display, ease of use and interactive visualizations makes defect analysis with honeycombINSPECT efficient and accurate.

All honeycombs on a component are fully documented. The documentation includes 3D data, defect reports and inspection logs. This ensures complete traceability and enables comprehensive quality control.

honeycombINSPECT can be flexibly adapted to a variety of sealing structures, including different radii and honeycomb diameters. This enables the inspection of honeycomb structures with different sizes and shapes.

The system can be adapted to multi-level structures with different heights. This enables the inspection of complex honeycomb structures with multiple levels.

honeycombINSPECT can be adapted to inclined back walls with unequal cell depths. This enables the inspection of honeycomb structures with variable cell depths.

If required, customer-specific adaptations can be made to ensure that honeycombINSPECT is optimally adapted to your specific requirements.
