The first step in achieving an efficient classification of parts on a production line is an exhaustive knowledge of the defects that they can present. We are sure that this knowledge is the key element for the success of the classification algorithms that will be applied a posteriori and, therefore, we have implemented in our facilities several advanced characterization techniques that allow us to detect any defect that could lead to a possible failure of the part. The results of our characterization are compared with the acceptable defect levels established by the customer to obtain a highly efficient and personalized final classification system.

Another advantage of the advanced characterization of the parts under study is that, in addition to the classification of the parts as good or defective, it allows to establish with precision the reason for the rejection of a part. Thus, the customer will also have valuable information that will allow him to refine the production process and avoid waste of materials and time.

Variations in density, hardness, porosity, presence of delamination, fractures, and micro-cracks are easily detectable through the application of characterization techniques by our highly qualified personnel.
