FlawSense

Dimensional Defect Detection

The most reliable defect detection solution on the market.

FlawSense™ technology is the first-of-its-kind defect detection tool that uses laser-line triangulation to measure diameter and ovality, providing a contour map at speeds up to 10,000 times per second and nearly 100% inspection coverage. It accurately measures the outer diameter, evaluates ovality, and identifies defects using a true 360-degree view.

The FlawSense systems are designed, manufactured, and assembled in the US.

Automating Surface Quality Inspection

Superior Measurement Technology​

Laser-line triangulation technology offers the most advanced solution for real-time 3D inspection. With its precise dimensional measurement capabilities, this technology enables us to achieve a more comprehensive and accurate three-dimensional scan, delivering up to 50x more precision than a traditional vision system.​

Set up defect detection criteria in minutes​

The advanced proprietary algorithms and point cloud data manipulation enable detailed contour computation. The system's high resolution and frame rate reliably detect even the smallest defects that other systems cannot.

Off-line with FlawSense Metron™

Renowned for its precision, FlawSense Metron Technology is ideal for inspecting parts under 72 inches long, such as catheters or medical tubes with variable diameters and tapers. Its User-friendly controls allow operators to easily mount and inspect each part from the batch, ensuring the product meets specifications while identifying any surface defects.

FlawSense technology is not a vision system.
It's something better.

LaserLinc’s FlawSense technology provides a 3D measurement and defect detection solution using laser-line triangulation, unlike traditional 2D camera-based vision systems. It does not rely on color or visual patterns but measures and analyzes 360° of the surface contour in precise detail to detect and report defects at production speeds.

No Shape Error
Products are rarely a perfect circle. Vision systems and micrometers can only measure point to point, measuring only six points around the circumference. FlawSense technology measures a full 360° contour and digitizes the product in real-time, creating thousands of points. This allows FlawSense technology to eliminate dead zones and measurement uncertainty.
Laser-Line Triangulation
FlawSense uses laser-line triangulation technology for dimensional measurement and detection. This technology is superior to vision systems with its more limited coverage and camera-based inspection, which cannot offer the same level of coverage as FlawSense systems.
When it comes to surface defect detection, the choice is clear.
Fast & Accurate
100% non-contact, real-time in-line and off-line inspection that detects defects as small as 5 um (0.0002 in) and reliably detects 20-100x smaller defects than vision systems. It also picks up defects regardless of color or text.
