Quality Inspection
Our main application areas are non-contact and non-destructive 100% product testing to ensure quality and optimization of the value chain.

Assembly Inspection / Completeness Check
During the assembly and completeness check, the completeness and the correct installation of individual components are checked. In addition to individual components such as screw connections, rivets, plugs, etc., it is also possible to check the position and completeness of edits such as welded seams.
Our fully automatic systems check the correct result of your assembly and processing machines. Relevant test results and quality data are made available to quality assurance.
- Component presence check
- Completeness check
Dimensional Accuracy Inspection
An essential task of quality assurance is the inspection of all dimensions and tolerances.
Our camera-based inspection systems measure your articles reliably and at high speed.
The integrated software solutions offer you a fast and individual adaptation to the different product types of your production.
- Geometry testing in general
- Tolerance measurement 2D
- Tolerance measurement 3D
Surface Inspection
Do the surfaces of your products meet your quality requirements?
In order to maintain high quality standards, our testing facilities test your products fatigue-free with consistent results for surface quality with regard to blowholes, inclusions, chips or scratches. Equipped with endoscopes, these can also be used for internal visual inspection.
- Surface inspection for blowholes, inclusions, chips, scratches
- Thread testing inside/outside
- Individual configuration of lighting and optics
- Technoscope/Endoscope Application
Strip Inspection
During the quality inspection of rolled strips, a continuous recording and evaluation of specified quality characteristics is carried out.
Depending on the application, this can be the cut-break ratio of the strip edges or the detection of strip breaks. The evaluation takes place in real time, so that quality defects are immediately detected during this procedure.
- Quality of the strip edges
- Continuous recording
- Evaluation of quality characteristics in real time
Bin Picking
The eyes of the robot
Our 2D / 3D systems recognize e.g. the spatial position of components on conveyor belts, calculate position coordinates and enable robots to grip the parts exactly. The use of high-resolution stereoscopy systems enables complex 3D applications, for example to determine the exact position of parts stacked on top of one another and thus make them 'tangible' for industrial robots.
Our position guidance systems thus enable considerably faster and more efficient production processes.
- 2D parts / position detection on feed belts
- 3D parts / position detection in containers
- Transfer of position coordinates to industrial robots or handling systems
Parts Identification
Identify, sort and classify articles and variants
With large product variance, articles often differ only very slightly and are barely perceptible to the human eye. Our testing systems prevent the mixing of varieties and guarantee that the part variants are installed in the right place.
- Identify articles and variants based on their contour and dimensions
- Classification / Sorting
- Prevent variety mixing
Read ID & Verify Code
Industrial identification processes require the reading of 1D and 2D codes as well as the evaluation of plain text (OCR evaluation).
In conjunction with our verifier application, we check and verify applied codes at the application site to classify and ensure readability.
- Read 1D and 2D codes
- Verification of 1D and 2D codes
- Evaluation of plain text (OCR evaluation)
Consulting
Based on our many years of experience, feasibility tests are carried out and documented in the IMR laboratory or at our customers' premises. From this we develop tailor-made solutions for our customers.
We will find the suitable camera / lens and lighting system for you to solve your individual inspection task.
Service and Support
Our employees also support you after completion of commissioning in order to guarantee optimum availability of IMR components and systems.
For adaptations to new production conditions we are at your disposal at any time.
