Industrial solution
Metals, Materials & General Industry
Timber, textile trims, abrasives and non-destructive metal testing.
Vision inspection reaches well past electronics and automotive. DSTEK has deployed across timber flooring, textile trims such as zips, abrasive particles, non-destructive metal testing, and robot automation built around the inspection itself. The materials differ; the approach does not — optics that make the defect visible, and few-sample training.
Scope
What we inspect
-
Timber and flooring
Surface knots, splits, colour variation and machining defects
-
Textile trims
Zip tooth omission, engagement faults and surface defects
-
Abrasives and particles
Particle size distribution and appearance judgement for cutting grit
-
Non-destructive metal testing
Automated judgement of magnetic particle and fluorescent inspection imagery
-
Precision sheet metal
Cracks, burrs and dimensions on pressed and machined faces
-
Robot automation cells
Process automation integrated with inspection, including negative-pressure environments and automatic loaders
Applications
Representative inspection tasks
A selection of what we have actually run on the line — not the full list. New inspection targets are approached the same way.
-
Timber flooring inspection
Separates genuine defects from the natural variation of the material — knots, splits and colour differences.
-
Zip inspection
Full inspection of zip tooth omission, engagement and surface defects, including a dedicated bag-zip inspection machine.
Global textile trim manufacturer
-
Diamond cutting particle inspection
A test-equipment solution judging the size and appearance of abrasive cutting particles.
-
Magnetic particle and fluorescent testing
Defect indications in NDT imagery are judged automatically, replacing a visual-only process.
-
Food dosing and packaging
Fill quantity and packaging condition inspected, integrated with packaging line automation.
-
Robot automation cell
A robot automation process delivered in a negative-pressure environment, integrated with inspection.
Domestic metalworking manufacturer
-
Automatic loader
A stepper-type loader removes manual feeding ahead of the inspection equipment.
Our edge
What we bring to this industry
- 01 The same approach whatever the material — optics that make the defect visible come first
- 02 Training that separates defects from the wide natural variation of raw materials
- 03 Not inspection alone: feeding, transfer and packaging automation built around it
