Precision Machining Verification
AI-powered surface finish and dimensional verification for flight-critical machined components, titanium, Inconel, and exotic alloys.
What It Is
Precision-machined aerospace components (turbine housings, actuator bodies, landing gear fittings, and structural brackets) demand surface finishes and dimensional accuracy measured in microns. Every tool mark, burr, and surface imperfection must be documented and verified before a part clears for assembly into flight-critical systems.
Why It's Hard
- •Reflective metal surfaces on titanium and Inconel create glare, shadows, and specular highlights that confuse traditional vision systems
- •Microscopic defects, tool chatter marks, micro-burrs, and surface inclusions, are invisible at normal inspection distances
- •Complex 3D geometries with bores, pockets, and internal features require multiple viewing angles
- •High part value, a single scrapped titanium billet can cost thousands, making false reject rates critical
How Overview Solves It
High-resolution micro-defect detection: The OV80i resolves surface features at the micron scale, detecting tool marks, burrs, and inclusions invisible to the naked eye.
Handles reflective metals: AI segmentation learns to see through glare and specular highlights that trip rules-based vision, trained on your actual parts, not theoretical models.
ROI-specific inspection zones: Define inspection regions for critical surfaces, bores, and mating faces, each with independent pass/fail criteria.
Reduce false rejects: AI learns the acceptable range of surface variation, reducing costly false rejects on high-value parts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Overview replace CMM inspection?
Overview complements CMM by providing 100% visual surface inspection at production speed. CMM measures dimensions; Overview catches surface defects, contamination, and cosmetic issues that CMM doesn't address.
How does it handle reflective titanium surfaces?
The AI is trained on your actual parts with their real reflections. It learns what's normal glare vs. an actual defect, something rules-based systems cannot do reliably.
