Introduction

Parts in high-tech applications must meet strict cleanliness requirements. The first step in assessing whether a part meets the specified requirements is visual inspection

In visual inspection, parts are viewed and assessed for cleanliness by an operator with the naked eye, combined with different types of light. This visual inspection is an important quality control, because if contamination is found even at visual inspection, it affects the performance of more advanced cleaning steps or follow-up assembly steps.

To perform visual inspection correctly, it is important that the operator knows how to perform the inspection and has knowledge of the types of contamination that can/can't be seen on visual inspection.

This hands on course consists of an explanation of what cleanliness means in the precision industry, how clean parts actually must be (what is in the cleanliness specifications), what types of contamination may be visible on visual inspection. The practical part consists of performing visual inspections on different types of materials with different types of contamination. Various types of lamps are used, allowing participants not only to learn how to perform the inspections correctly, but also to experience the differences in the tools to be used.
