Automatic Bore Surface Inspection in One Pass



Hommel-Etamic's IPS 100 bore inspection sensor system provides rapid, single pass, automatic surface inspection of diameters from 75-110 mm and delivers a 360° panoramic view of the bore. The sensor permits detection of surface defects such as blow holes, scratches, porosities and more to any depth. Typical applications include engine blocks, transmission cases, connecting rods, steering gear cases and cylinder liners.

Utilizing CMOS imaging technology, the IPS100 continuously scans the bore surface at high speed, creating a viewable image of the bore interior. In operation, a 360° circular optic is advanced into the bore which then generates images of the surface. Circumferential lines in the bore are seen as rings in the image. As the sensor advances into the bore, circular scanning allows for the generation of an undistorted image of the inner surface.
