With an accuracy rate of 80%, manual quality inspection can fail to detect all defects.
Skilled inspectors are hard to find, and manual processes drive up operational expenses.
OEMs demand automated solutions, yet many traditional machine vision systems fail on glossy 3D surfaces.
Clever automation, future-proof production. Hexagon Deflecto with patented Covered Stereo Deflectometry (CSD) sets the industry standard for automated surface inspection. It delivers high-speed, precise, and scalable quality control for any light-reflecting surface. To date, no surface defect has remained undetected by Hexagon Deflecto.
Hexagon Deflecto is faster than human inspectors and more cost-effective than multiple manual quality checks. Automated inspection reduces unnecessary scrap and rework costs by catching all defects before parts are shipped to the customer, effectively eliminating costly customer complaints and returns.
Deflecto delivers over 99 percent inspection accuracy, significantly outperforming manual inspection methods. It eliminates subjective variation and ensures flawless, repeatable quality, detecting every surface defect, even the smallest scratches and coating inconsistencies.
A single automated Deflecto inspection cell can theoretically inspect up to 6 million parts annually. The actual inspection capacity depends on the type of parts, their dimensions, and the surface quality inspection requirements. Customers can scale the solution freely by adding more cells to cover any volume, including over 100 million parts per year.
The key advantage of Hexagon Deflecto is its unique flexibility. It can inspect virtually any surface that reflects light, not only high-gloss chrome or painted components. You define the production volume and the part type. Roth Technik delivers the fully integrated, turnkey automation solution.
Hexagon Deflecto inspects any light-reflecting surface. The examples below illustrate typical applications, but the technology is not limited to them.
Hexagon Deflecto with patented Covered Stereo Deflectometry ensures flawless surface inspection for industries that demand the highest quality and consistency. It is capable of inspecting virtually any surface that reflects light.
Detects defects in glossy interior and exterior parts, ensuring consistent visual quality across all production volumes.
Ensures flawless surfaces on casings, screens, and polished components, even for highly reflective materials.
Inspects surgical tools, implants, and coated instruments with high precision for flawless and sterile finishes.
Optimizes quality control for reflective metal, plastic, and other components across diverse geometries and finishes.
Our automated quality control system uses Hexagon Deflecto with patented Covered Stereo Deflectometry (CSD) to deliver industry-leading precision in visual inspection. It can inspect virtually any light-reflecting surface, offering unmatched flexibility across part types, finishes, and geometries.
Hexagon Deflecto can inspect nearly any surface that reflects light. This includes high-gloss, painted, coated, plastic, and metal 3D parts in a wide variety of shapes and finishes.
Hexagon Deflecto is highly adaptable and supports both manual and fully automated part changes—including gripper exchange—depending on your production setup. As long as the part fits within the system and has a reflective surface, it can be inspected reliably, regardless of geometry or material.
Yes! The software is designed to be intuitive, with image-based configuration, sliders, and AI-powered defect detection.
Our lead expert, Fredi Janz, affectionately calls it “Windows Paint for Advanced Users.” Many of our customers create their own inspection recipes with confidence after onboarding—especially when introducing new parts.
Hexagon Deflecto integrates seamlessly into robotic and automated production environments. The ideal placement is typically at the end of the line, serving as the final quality gate before parts are shipped. At Roth Technik, we follow one core principle: nothing is impossible. Each integration is tailored to your exact needs—whether it involves special automation, handling, or layout adaptations.
How to choose the right parts and see Hexagon Deflecto in action on real-world surfaces.
NDAs often prevent us from publicly sharing our most impressive case results. While we’re happy to demonstrate how Hexagon Deflecto inspects our own car key, we understand that this may not be relevant — or impressive enough — for your specific application.
That’s why we offer a better way: If you manufacture glossy, hard-to-inspect 3D parts, you can send us sample parts and we’ll run a Free-of-Charge Feasibility Study tailored to your needs — no restrictions, no guesswork.
We’ll analyze the parts, compile a detailed feasibility report, and review the results together with you. This is the most effective way to see what Hexagon Deflecto can do for your business — based on real-world data, not assumptions.
Send us your parts and we’ll show you what Deflecto can do.
