Confocal measurement of dental samples

Confocal measurement of dental samples

The materials used in dental fillings are examined for surface deterioration and robustness to ensure that the materials are suitable to be used for dental procedures and examinations. To measure this deterioration, the KF-30 measurement system is introduced that uses non-contact confocal measurement sensors to detect the surfaces of different materials and generates a three-dimensional representation as output.  Bestech Australia provides confocalDT 2451 sensors from Micro-Epsilon that are used in this measuring system. These sensors are also used in research labs for measuring the chewing surfaces for dental materials and to analyse the resulting wear. A visual representation of the...

Fine positioning of a surgical microscope

Fine positioning of a surgical microscope

Surgical Microscopes are used by surgeons to get a clear and perfect view of the operating area. The microscope has its optics mounted to long arms on a stand to enable the surgeons to position the microscope and give them more room to move while performing a surgery. The long arm needs to be adjusted at the pivot points continously to give the surgeon the desired view throughout the procedure. This is done using capaNCDT 6019 capacitive measuring system that supports calibration of the CSE05 sensor to two switching points. The capacitive measuring system measures the distance to the reference area reflecting...

Height measurement of Petri dishes

Height measurement of Petri dishes

The Medical Industry heavily uses sensor technology to cope with the increasing demand of high quality medical technology based products, apparatus, plant automation and pharmaceuticals. For going through these operations, consistent quality control and compliance with narrow tolerances is reuqired. Sensors play a major role in attaining these targets. The inspection of the fill-level in the plates is performed with the help of a three-channel version of the capaNCDT6220 capacitive measurement system. This non-contact measuring system uses three sensors with measuring range of 4mm and can determine the fill-level over three tracks on the petri dish. For effective and accurate results,...

Quality control of medical tablet stamps and dies

Quality control of medical tablet stamps and dies

Quality control of press tools is an essential aspect of the medical tablet stamps and dies manufacturing process. It includes different types of automatic inspections to ensure that all components of the finished product are checked to pass all the quality standards. Although these inspections are affected by the complexity and reflecting surface of the tablet, using the right device can help to gain the desired outcomes. Here, a confocal sensor-confocalDT 2451 and the optical micrometer-optoCONTROL 2600 work together to provide precise measurement results. The combination of these two instruments as well as a precise 5 degree of freedom movement...

Contact lens measurement

Contact lens measurement

Contact lens manufacturers conduct various material tests on clear, flexible polymer samples to ensure better quality. During the test, the material samples are submerged in a saline solution for hydration. Measuring dimensions inside a saline solution when the material is stretched or heated is a very challenging task. To perform this type of measurement effectively, non-contact sensors are preferred. Bestech Australia provides special non-contact sensors to give accurate dimensional measurements. ThruBeam model ODC2600-40 sensors are used for this purpose with a dynamically adjustable threshold that allows the user to fine-tune the sensor enabling it to see the polymer sample’s edges...

Peel strength test of medical packages

Peel strength test of medical packages

When designing medical packaging, certain quality-related factors need to be considered. The packaging needs to be easy to open for frail hands and hands wearing gloves. Apart from that, quality packaging also prevents the medical device inside the packaging from breaking or being damaged during the opening. Consumers expect a product seal to be strong enough to keep the product sterile, yet easy enough to peel without causing spillages or inconsistencies in peel strength. To perform a peel test, universal testing equipment is employed that is included with special fixtures positioned at different angles with respect to the base of the equipment. The...

Non-contact body temperature measurement using thermal imaging cameras

Non-contact body temperature measurement using thermal imaging cameras

Better temperature screening is now more affordable with the Acrovision AFS-100 Fever Screening Solution. With thermal imaging cameras, ambient reference radiator, and monitor, this system can spot elevated body temperatures and help to monitor the health of people in public institutions, such as airports, schools, and hospitals. The solution is based on the use of Micro-Epsilon’s thermal imaging camera thermoIMAGER TIM QVGA-HD-T100. A TM-BR20AR-TIM ambient reference radiator is also used for compensating the deviations caused by system applications and ambient temperature.  With a thermal sensitivity of 40 mK and a frequency of 80 Hz, it delivers real-time recordings. Thanks to...
