Mantis Eye™ Optical Scanner

Mainstream is developing the Mantis Eye™, a customizable machine vision system for automated, continuous monitoring of thin films and membranes. The patent-pending optical design provides simultaneous film thickness mapping and defect detection. It samples the full web width in real-time (100% inspection) and can be used on coating lines as well as other web converting equipment. The guiding principle of our product design is to provide the finest defect and thickness resolution with reasonably priced camera hardware. The idea is to provide a better value product as opposed to the brute force method of expensive cameras that bog down systems with huge images and data management issues.

Custom solutions are available for a wide range of applications. We will perform an initial assessment of your material to tailor the Mantis Eye to your needs.
