A Modular Platform Adaptable to Your Surface Inspection Workflows

Aesthetix®  by Rhopoint Instruments

All-in-one measurement tool that seamlessly integrates measurement modalities for gloss, haze, color, texture, reflective contrast, sparkle, coarseness, surface waviness, and topography – offering unprecedented insights into appearance characteristics previously challenging to quantify. 

HDR dual camera sensor combines high dynamic range imaging with patented spatially-varying sensing algorithms to capture microscopic surface details accurately. It captures the subtleties of surface characteristics below human visual resolution and merges them with human visual perception.

IVS internal software features an intuitive interface that consolidates all surface data analysis within a unified environment. With advanced visualization and processing capabilities, it allows you to extract quantitative metrics, generate comprehensive reports, and integrate inspection data into your quality management systems.

Captures surface characteristics below human visual resolution with its high-resolution imaging sensors and AI-powered algorithms. These capabilities separate microscopic surface features from the overall visual appearance. It then intelligently merges this sub-visual data with full-field rendering, providing an unparalleled correlation between objective measurements and human visual perception.

Offers backward compatibility with internationally recognized standards for surface characterization. This ensures a smooth transition from your existing inspection methodologies while unlocking new dimensions of material analysis powered by CoboSense-Aesthetix’s cutting-edge technology framework.
