001 · Overview

Silica ceramic plate inspection automation.

Automated visual inspection system for defect-free ceramic plates.

Silica-based ceramic plates are widely used in electrical, electronics, and semiconductor industries due to their excellent thermal resistance, mechanical strength, and insulating properties. However, maintaining strict quality standards is a challenge, especially during high-volume production using extrusion methods. Cracks, black spots, scratches, micro-waves, and other surface anomalies can compromise the performance of the final product.

Intelgic offers a fully automated silica ceramic plate inspection solution that ensures 100% surface quality inspection with high-speed, high-accuracy defect detection — eliminating manual errors and paving the path toward Zero Defect Manufacturing.

002 · Challenges

Challenges in ceramic plate inspection.

Silica ceramic plates come in various sizes — from 10 mm to 200 mm — and are typically extruded in high-throughput manufacturing lines. Visual defects often occur due to material inconsistencies, extrusion errors, thermal shock, or handling mishaps.

DEF · 01

Cracks

Surface or edge cracks that compromise structural integrity and electrical insulation properties.

DEF · 02

Black Spots

Burn marks or contamination spots that affect thermal conductivity and aesthetic quality.

DEF · 03

Micro-Waves

Surface warping or subtle undulations that impact dimensional accuracy and assembly fit.

DEF · 04

Scratches

Abrasion marks from handling or processing that reduce surface quality and performance.

DEF · 05

Dimensional Issues

Non-uniform thickness or out-of-spec dimensions affecting assembly and functionality.

DEF · 06

Contamination

Foreign particles or residues that impact electrical properties and surface finish.

Manual inspection is not only inconsistent and time-consuming, but also fails to catch micro-level defects, especially under high-throughput conditions.
