1. What Challenge Did We Face?
How can we help manufacturers ensure weld seam quality with precision and efficiency?
A leading manufacturer of vacuum electron beam welders recently encountered the challenge of accurately analyzing weld seam defects such as porosity, cracks, and fusion zone structures (for example, the grain structure of high-temperature alloy GH625 welds). Their new electron beam welder, now in mass production, required a reliable inspection system that could detect defects at a micrometer-level resolution.
2. How Does Our Custom Monocular Lens Address This Challenge?
We designed a custom fixed magnification monocular lens specifically for this application. By combining this lens with carefully selected filters, we achieved optimal contrast and clarity for post-weld seam defect analysis. This tailored approach enables direct, real-time inspection from an external display, making it easier for operators to verify weld quality instantly.

3. What Benefits Do Our Fixed Magnification Lens and Selected Filter Offer?
We believe our solution stands out because it provides:
- Enhanced Defect Detection:
The system can detect defects greater than several tens of micrometers with high precision. - Real-Time Inspection:
Weld seam quality can be immediately checked on an external display, reducing downtime. - Optimized Imaging:
The combination of our fixed magnification lens and precise filters improves the visibility of fine details in weld seams.
Our custom-designed monocular lens, paired with a precision filter, offers micrometer-level resolution for weld seam defect analysis, ensuring high-quality welds and boosting operational efficiency.
4. What Are the Technical Specifications and Inspection Capabilities?
Here’s a quick comparison table that summarizes the key aspects of our system:
| Parameter | Our Custom System | Typical System |
|---|---|---|
| Magnification | Fixed, optimized for weld inspection | Variable, may require adjustments |
| Filter Selection | Precisely selected for high-contrast imaging | Generic filters |
| Resolution | Micrometer-level (detects defects >10 µm) | Lower resolution in many cases |
| Display Integration | Direct output to external display | Often requires additional processing |
5. How Has This Improved Work Efficiency?
From our experience, the integration of our custom lens system has greatly enhanced operational efficiency. Operators can quickly verify if the weld seams meet quality standards by simply observing the display. This immediate feedback reduces the need for rework and minimizes production downtime.
