INSPECTIS Launches WeldInspect DIM for Welds and Shiny Surfaces
August 28, 2023 | INSPECTISEstimated reading time: 1 minute

INSPECTIS AB, a global provider of advanced optical inspection solutions for industry, announces the launch of WeldInspect DIM, the world's first premium performance Digital Inverted Microscope platform specifically designed to inspect welds and other normally difficult-to-inspect shiny surfaces.
This versatile new platform opens the world of digital microscopy to many new applications. For example, precision optical and object platform alignment makes it ideal for imaging polished metal samples used in weld analysis.
In making the announcement, Alistair Gooch, Marketing and Sales Manager, said, “Weldinspect is a unique platform for advanced visual inspection tasks, utilizing Inspectis’s powerful 4K imaging. It’s ideal for viewing hybrid microcircuits, ceramic PCBs and other substrates as well. It can be used as a compact standalone instrument or coupled to a PC with powerful analytical software tools. It has everything one needs in an all-in-one Digital Inverted Microscope for weld bead analysis and measurement, including our Ultra HD imaging system with motorized zoom optics, auto-focus, built-in illumination, and dedicated software for weld measurements, documentation and reporting.”
Available with an assortment of dedicated accessories to enable a wide range of inspection tasks, and high magnification, with models providing 200x or up to 250x screen magnification, WeldInspect features built-in dedicated lighting to provide the best possible light control, premium image quality, and fast auto-focus.
The WeldInspect system includes INSPECTIS Basics software, USB3.0 or PCIe converter, 5 pcs tempered glass windows, PC communication cable and protection cover for the instrument. Dedicated weld bead measurement software bundle with Nikon NIS Elements D is ordered separately.
