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.
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.
Surface or edge cracks that compromise structural integrity and electrical insulation properties.
Burn marks or contamination spots that affect thermal conductivity and aesthetic quality.
Surface warping or subtle undulations that impact dimensional accuracy and assembly fit.
Abrasion marks from handling or processing that reduce surface quality and performance.
Non-uniform thickness or out-of-spec dimensions affecting assembly and functionality.
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.
A turnkey automated visual inspection system specifically for silica ceramic plate quality control
At Intelgic, we have developed a turnkey automated visual inspection system specifically for silica ceramic plate quality control. The system combines high-resolution imaging, specialized lighting geometries, robotic motion systems, and AI-driven defect detection software to deliver reliable and repeatable inspection results.
Capture micro-level cracks and subtle surface anomalies with clarity. Supports both area-scan and line-scan depending on product size and inspection speed.
Defects like micro-cracks and black spots are best detected under low-angle dark-field lighting. Intelgic uses multiple lighting sources—ring lights, backlights, and low-angle bars—strategically placed to highlight different defect types.
Our proprietary software processes high-resolution images in real time using a combination of AI and classical image processing to detect, categorize, and measure defects with precision.
Comprehensive inspection capabilities for ceramic plate manufacturing
Lighting is dynamically controlled by the software to turn ON/OFF specific light sources based on the product type and inspection phase.
XY tables, rotary stages, or conveyor-based imaging setups ensure complete surface coverage for plates from 10mm to 200mm.
GPU-accelerated processing enables high-speed inspection without compromising accuracy or throughput.
Every inspected plate generates a detailed digital inspection report with defect location, type, size, and outcome (Pass/Fail).
Access inspection data from anywhere with our secure cloud dashboard and analytics platform.
Seamless integration with existing production lines through PLC, API, or MES/ERP connectivity.
