Overview

Leica QFilter

Leica QFilter is a specialist imaging application that offers accurate, fast and dependable classification of particulate pollution of fluids, for example, those used in hydraulic transmissions and fuel injection systems. This application measures contamination levels by analysing particles and fibres caught from fluid passed through a measured area of filter paper.

Key Features

  • Performs automatic filter inspection.
  • Conforms to ISO4406 standard.
  • Database for easy recall of reference information.
  • Operator guidance through each stage of the analysis process.
  • Automatic Pre-scan quickly evaluates particle density of sample number of fields to increase accuracy.
  • Predictive autofocus allows unattended measurement of entire filter surface.

Leica QFilter is primarily used to achieve cleanliness in manufacturing, where the analysis of filters is of paramount importance in assessing the quality of automotive parts, hydraulic transmissions, oil and fluid purity.
Conforms to Industry Standards
Leica QFilter ensures high standards, automatically and quickly counting and classifying particles and fibres present, according to the ISO 4406 or NFE48-651 standards. Custom size grades may be defined for user's own classifications. Leica QFilter measures pollution levels by analysing particles and fibres caught from fluid passed through a measured area of filter paper. It offers accurate, fast and dependable classification of particulate contamination of fluids.
Efficient
Maximum efficiency and simplicity (compared to manual methods) is ensured by integrating the motorised microscope with intelligent control software which allows Leica QFilter to quickly measure the hundreds of fields required to analyse an entire filter.
Predictive Autofocus
During the filter scanning process, Leica QFilter's Predictive Autofocus ensures the precise focus of each field of view automatically, while retaining the maximum performance and throughput. The Leica QFilter product application solution, in conjunction with a Leica optical microscope, provides an integrated solution for assured standards compliance, and is available immediately from Leica Sales Units and approved representatives world-wide.
Fast, Simple & Convenient Analysis
Leica QFilter's automatic 'pre-scan' will even quickly evaluate the particle density of a few initial fields and recommend the appropriate percentage of the filter surface that should be scanned to achieve the required result accuracy. During the filter scanning process, Leica QFilter's Predictive Autofocus ensures the precise focus of each field of view automatically, while retaining the maximum performance and throughput.
Comprehensive Results and Reports
The particle measurement results are automatically classified according to the ISO 4406 standard, or can be classified according to user-defined size grades. Leica QFilter reports the final results using any of a number of user-definable report formats. Each report contains the detailed results of the filter analysis, as well as specimen information, particle distributions, and the ISO4406 classification.
