The document describes the Hommel-Etamic IPS100 bore inspection sensor system. The IPS100 can automatically inspect bores with diameters between 75-110mm, any bore depth, and detect surface defects while moving. It uses a 360 degree circular optics to generate undistorted images of the bore's inner surface and high-speed CMOS imaging to quickly scan the bore. The IPS100 system configuration includes the bore sensor, light source, framegrabber, linear axis, and PC software for automatic image analysis.

technology

2. Functional principle
A 360° circular optics is advanced into the bore and generates an image of its inside surface. Circumferential lines in the bore
are represented as rings in the image. The image is continuously scanned by a high resolution CMOS imager. Simultaneous
forward advancing of the inspection sensor and circular scanning allows for the generation of an undistorted image of the
inner surface of the bore. Thanks to the high scanning rate, the IPS-10 can be advanced rapidly, which allows for short inspec-tion
