Properties of VUCIS Magnetic particle inspection is a non-destructive testing method used to identify cracks and defects in magnetic materials. In this method, a fine magnetic powder is applied to the surface of the workpiece. The powder accumulates in the cracks and makes them visible. By using UV light as an illumination source, the cracks […]
Protection for BoroCIS against imitations We are pleased to announce that after a long wait, the patent for our innovative BoroCIS has finally been approved by the Munich Patent Office. This ground-breaking technology, in combination with our patented RingCIS, enables our customers to carry out a comprehensive internal and external inspection of pipes, tubes and […]
Special requirements for the inspection of wafers Optical wafer inspection plays an important role in semiconductor production in order to manufacture microchips with flawless quality. Optical systems are used to detect scratches, defects or particles on wafers.The requirements placed on the camera system used for this are very demanding. A high resolution is required to […]
Change of product key from VTCIS to VUCIS Tichawa Vision is changing the type code for the latest Contact Image Sensor generation. Due to many new innovative developments in the field of lighting and optics, this is the ideal time to make the key a little more intuitive. The key changes from VTCIS to VUCIS […]
The Tichawa Vision VUCIS combines a built-in intelligent programmable ultra high speed Illumination Controller with a wide choice of illumination colors and geometries to get the best possible images for conventional or AI based Image Processing. The Illumination Controller is built around a phase sequencer and a Color Mix Table, both completely under user control. […]
4 methods for the inspection of pipes, tubes and profiles Tichawa Vision offers five CIS products for the inspection of tubes, pipes and profiles. Inspection on the outside: Why CIS? There are a lot of Line Scan Camera solutions available for image acquisition of rotating objects. However, if you want to inspect a pipe with […]
In the future, Tichawa Vision will manufacture the sensor boards in-house The heart of our products are the sensor boards. These carry the sensor chips, which scan the image in a similar way to a line scan camera. The difference to a line scan camera is that many sensor chips have to be lined up […]
For the RingCIS with adjustable focus the design and construction is completed. From now on it is possible to use the same RingCIS for different tube diameters. For lines where different types of tubes are processed you can use your quality control with only one RingCIS. This requires only a simple adjustment of the head when […]
Tichawa Vision has now expanded the product portfolio for inner diameters from 3 mm. For this, we use a very compact camera with a cross-section of only 1 x 1 mm. The immersion depth for the cameras can reach up to 2 meters, depending on requirements. This enables the BoroCIS to inspect the inside of long, […]
Tube or pipe bottoms come into focus. The field of view for the BoroCIS has been significantly expanded. In addition to pipe or tube inner walls, the BoroCIS can also scan the bottom in parallel. This means that even more information can be obtained in a single immersion process. Now scratches, foreign bodies, coating gaps and […]
