Keyence is a rapidly growing leader in factory automation products and turnkey inspection equipment. Their microscope and surface measurement systems ensure that their customers can meet increasing quality standards and guarantee the reliability of their products.

During our November meeting, two specialists from Keyence will discuss High-Resolution Microscope systems and how they are an asset in Reliability, Failure Analysis, and R&D. These systems are designed to allow the researcher or engineer to make better decisions through superior imaging and metrology with reduced subjectivity.

We will be detailing how these products are used for a variety of applications including counterfeit electronic detection. Multi-directional lighting and full focus stacking make it easy to identify these in a fraction of the time, and with greater confidence. It is estimated that 70-80% of all potential counterfeits can be caught with a thorough inspection. Counterfeit inspection techniques are still new for many in the industry.

We will also be breaking down the many surface roughness parameters, and why Ra isn’t always the best choice in analysis surface texture. Many companies are moving away from stylists and profilometers and toward laser scanning microscopes to get down to the true depth of a groove with 0.5nm resolution, and 87-degree slope angle detection.

Keyence will demonstrate 3 of their Microscope systems and discuss the value each one provides: A Digital Microscope, a Laser Scanning Confocal, and a 3D Measuring Macroscope. Keyence encourages attendees to bring samples to see the equipment in action after the meeting.
