Ideal for challenging subjects

Makrolite 4K’s wide dynamic range is ideally suited for inspection of subjects that are highly reflective such as electro-polished finishes and solder joints, and subjects where details are often lost in areas of shadow, highlights or poor contrast such as black plastics and ceramics.

Fast defect detection

Live image overlay comparison provides a reliable and efficient way to save time in carrying out routine or recurring inspection tasks to defined standards. CAD file import acts as a simple image comparator making it easy to spot faults and pass/fail inspection.
