Optics Lab – IntScan Pro Line Scan and IntSight Area Scan
Compare 12 line-scan set-ups (IntScan Pro) and 6 area-scan part lights (IntSight) on a digital twin and synthetic images; make labelled training data.
Set up twelve line-scan lighting and optics configurations as a digital twin and compare what each one shows for your web and defect.
Every value is an estimate from a simple, uncalibrated model, not a measurement. The synthetic images are illustrative, and the configurations are generic examples, not a product specification.
See how the light, sensor, lens and conveyor decide what an area-scan camera shows of a defect on an individual part.
High-angle diffuse reflection: Stains, foreign matter and color changes on paper and board
Low-angle specular: Coating streaks and skips; bubbles and marks on glossy film
Transmission (backlight): Foreign matter, pinholes and thickness changes in film and nonwovens
Alternating reflection + transmission: Surface and inside defects together
Low-angle light from both sides: Wrinkles, waviness, surface deformation
Low-angle 3D on a roll: Height defects such as dents and bumps
Alternating 3D + transmission: Height defects and inside defects
UV fluorescence: Fluorescent contamination such as oil and adhesive
Dark field: Scratches, bubbles and fine dust on film (defects that scatter light)
Coaxial: Marks and scratches on metal foil and glossy film
Crossed polarizers (transmission): Stress, uneven stretching and wrinkles in film
Near infrared (NIR): Coating thickness and drying differences (electrodes and similar)
IntSight · Ring light: Foreign matter and stains, glints on curved surfaces
IntSight · Dome light: Foreign matter and stains on shiny parts (relief fades)
IntSight · Coaxial light: Scratches and dents on flat, smooth surfaces
IntSight · Low-angle ring light: Cracks, edges and steep relief
IntSight · Backlight: Outlines, dimensions and burrs; breaks that let light through
IntSight · Angled bar light: Relief shown by a one-sided shadow
