The Mico sensor by Smartray has the same form factor as a standard weld torch allowing complete integration of weld inspections on most production lines. The compact shape enables customers to weld and inspect with 100% correspondence as the tool centre point of both systems is identical. The tiny sensor has a resolution of a little over 1.000px on a FoV of 40mm. Consequently, the lateral resolution of this sensor is 40µm. This allows for detection of very fine defects on a weld. Customers typically require a sensor to identify defects of a size of about 0,5mm, and sometimes 0,3 or 0,2mm. This sensor can reliably detect defects of 0,2mm in diameter. The sensor operates at about 3kHz, taking 3000 profile cuts per second. The regular inspection speed of this sensor is 200mm/s.
