AccuPore Mesh Analysis by Inspection Services

At Porous Metal Filters, we have developed an extensive quality control system to ensure we meet the requirements of our clients. One of our most recent additions to our quality system is an automated visual mesh analysis by inspection of wire cloth. This process is referred to as AccuPore Mesh Analysis by Inspection. This mesh analysis system gives us the ability to detect subtle, unpredictable defects that are inherent in the weaving process.

The AccuPore Mesh Analysis Inspection Service is an important process where the quality control for woven mesh is fulfilled by using a high-tech camera system. This mesh analysis system consists of high-resolution line scan cameras, which take continuous images of the mesh. As the mesh is exposed to the cameras, it identifies and tracks defects, including large openings, small openings, broken wires, physical damage and more.

Each mesh has its own properties, such as individual light transmission and reflection properties, which we refer to as the grey value. AccuPore Mesh Analysis Inspection can identify a wide variety of mesh and thus uses individually adapted defect detection algorithms, which lead to an outstanding repeatability and accuracy.

Many global industries often rely on certain wire mesh specifications for high performance use. Wire mesh is used for oil and gas, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, critical separation, critical filtration, and more, were the specifications must meet specific requirements. At Porous Metal Filters, we understand the importance to meet specific requested criteria. We routinely provide custom manufactured specifications and verify wire cloth above and beyond industry standards. Our mesh analysis assures that specifications are met consistently.
