SurfInspect: Automated and objective quality assessment of scratch & dig in compliance with ISO 10110‑7

15 Jan 2026

TRIOPTICS introduces SurfInspect, an automated inspection system for the objective surface quality evaluation of flat optics, lenses, and lens systems in compliance with the international standard ISO 10110‑7. With its attractive price-performance ratio, advanced technical specifications, and automated documentation, SurfInspect addresses the central challenges in optical manufacturing:

- Time-saving automated inspection processes

- Objective and precise automated evaluations

- Efficient and quick documentation

SurfInspect is designed for companies that manufacture or further process optical components and assemblies. It is particularly suitable for companies that currently perform manual visual inspections and are searching for a cost-effective alternative, as well as for all those who specify optical surfaces according to ISO 10110‑7. The goal is to improve the quality of incoming, intermediate, and final inspections.

Objectivity at the press of a button

Thanks to classical or AI-supported dimensional analysis, SurfInspect detects scratches and digs consistently – regardless of the operator's experience, mood, or qualifications. The result is a gap-free, ISO-conform inspection documentation that minimizes human decision errors.

Precision and efficiency through multi-shot measurement sequence

A particularly large field of view and high depth of focus enable the capture and analysis of the entire optics in a single image based on an intelligent multi-shot measurement sequence. The circumferential ring illumination used for this purpose illuminates each surface completely, eliminates reflections, and makes all scratches & digs visible, unaffected by external light interference. The elimination of the time-consuming stitching of individual inspection areas significantly reduces process time – and thus the time and cost per inspected lens. Low acquisition costs give SurfInspect a clear price-performance advantage over existing inspection solutions.

Plannable productivity and gap-free documentation

SurfInspect automatically generates inspection and quality reports according to ISO 10110‑7. The predictable measurement times and standardized results can be seamlessly integrated into production and quality KPIs, making productivity predictable and comprehensible.

High user-friendliness

An intuitive user interface and software-defined inspection procedures make the system immediately ready for use without extensive training. The relevant functionality for all user levels enables easy and reliable handling.

Customized functionality

"With SurfInspect, we are offering the optical industry an easy-to-use measurement system for economical and objective surface inspection that reduces inspection costs and simplifies quality control. We are convinced that with SurfInspect we have achieved a combination of customized functionality and cost-effectiveness that contributes to increased efficiency in the quality inspection of optical surfaces," explains Wiebke Ehrhorn, Product Manager at TRIOPTICS.
