New Feature - Corrosion Inspector with machine learning algorithm
The Corrosion Inspector from Schäfter+Kirchhoff scans corrosion test panels and evaluates them quickly and objectively. The automatic measurement of corrosion structures is completed in 5 seconds. The system delivers a very high-contrast image with a resolution of 0.022 mm per pixel. The implemented evaluation methods comply with international standards for filiform corrosion, degree of delamination and corrosion, cross-cut, degree of blistering and multi-impact tests.
The latest software version includes a trainable machine learning algorithm for better separation of actual corrosion and disturbing background effects. Once trained, the software applies the algorithm to following samples. Using that, even difficult panels can be processed efficiently. [more]
AdheScan - Adhesive failure surface inspection system
AdheScan is the latest addition to Schäfter+Kirchhoff’s high quality inspection systems. It is an advanced, user-friendly comprehensive measurement system for the quantifiable, reliable and reproducible inspection of adhesive failure surface patterns. The system is designed to utilize expert knowledge in an objective and reproducible way. Bond Experts profit from ease of use as well as specially designed image acquisition in combination with trainable machine learning algorithms.

Bond Experts profit from ease of use as well as specially designed image acquisition in combination with trainable machine learning algorithms.
Ease of use: Intuitive routines, high-resolution (11µm optical resolution), 3D height information (20 µm resolution) and 3D view of each fracture pair; scans of up to 8 fracture pairs in one scan
Quantifiable results: Quantifiable, reproducible results for adhesive fracture surface patterns. All results are logged and all relevant data is stored in a database for easy retrieval of previous results.
Comprehensive view: Both fracture partners are aligned using the alignment tool and then evaluated together for increased accuracy.
Annotation assistant: Bond Experts annotate the sample simultaneously in all 6 views, wherever a pattern is easiest to identify.
Advanced algorithms: Machine-leaning algorithm for fast and easy sample analysis. Even with only a few markers, the implemented algorithm can make a prediction for the entire image.
AdheScan is a further development of a demonstrator developed in cooperation with Fraunhofer IFAM (Department of Adhesion and Interface Research & Quality Assurance and Cyber-Physical Systems) in a project (SAMBA, 20Q1924A) publicly funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK).

Fiber Coupler and Fiber Collimator with mini AVIM® connector
Schäfter+ Kirchhoff is happy to announce the launch of their first ever commercially available fiber coupler series 60SMF and fiber collimators series 60FC with mini AVIM® connector worldwide. This opens up new fields of application in the areas of avionics and space as well as ultra-compact and stable instruments.
The mini AVIM® connector by Diamond (www. diamond-fo.com) is a world renown standard for fiber cables. The new mini AVIM® fiber coupler and collimator series are compatible with fiber connectors of both type Mini AVIM® and Midi AVIM®.
It is self-evident that both series continue to offer the same excellent features including high pointing stability and long-term stability which have been proven over the years. Both series 60SMF and 60FC are available in a large number of focal lengths and numerous different optics types (aspheres, monochromats and achromats) as well as different AR-coatings. [more].
