The overall goal for this application is to detect the presence and location of various features on the interior of an automotive headliner. Mainly, this includes cables and “hicks”. Hicks are hard foam blocks that create a space between the vehicle roof and the headliner shell.

Line Confocal Sensors are ideal for transparent material inspection and quality control. One of the key applications is capturing surfaces of mobile device displays and detecting layers inside and under the screen glass.

FocalSpec Line Confocal Imaging (LCI) technology is optimal for measuring printed electronics, because it combines 3D topography, tomography, and 2D intensity imaging in one sensor.

This application involves inspecting unpainted, bare metal automotive car bodies (body-in-white) for correct door and panel gap & flushness measurements in order to verify critical assembly tolerances are met.

FocalSpec Line Confocal Sensors leverage a patented off-axis line confocal optical design to ensure continuous, non-contact measurement of the most challenging materials and shapes, including curved display glass, multi-layered transparent materials (e.g., glass, medical plastics), and a wide variety of highly reflective electronic parts (e.g., polished metals).
