The IMSTec Stent Inspection System represents a high end solution for stent inspection and geometry measurement. The system is available as semi- and fully automated version. Stent geometries are measured very accurate and defects on the outer and inner surface are detected. The fully automated version comprises an automated handling system in order to minimize operator interaction.
IMSTec’s stent measurement and inspection system detects defects on stent geometries. Strut widths of the stents are measured before and after polishing process. A line scan camera creates high-resolution images of the rotating stent. The analysis algorithm runs on several client computers in order to optimize process time. Modular inspection modules allow a product and process step specific recipe management. New products can be taught easily.
Depending on user requirements a fully or semi-automated system can be provided. The fully automated version can be attached to a cluster system or work as stand-alone as the semi-automated system. For ease of use, with minimal user interaction, the fully automated stent inspection system is embedded into an automatic handling system: Stents are sorted on logistical trays that are loaded into the machine.
