Traditional methods of vision and surface inspections can be time-consuming and prone to error, but with the Keyence VR 6000, we offer a powerful tool that delivers unparalleled accuracy and efficiency. This state-of-the-art system allows for high-speed, non-destructive measurements, providing crucial insights into surface finish and dimensional characteristics without physical contact.

Our mission is to provide cutting-edge engineering support solutions that empower our clients with accurate and actionable data. Each day our specialized and exceptionally qualified team is sought by industrial partners around the world to solve some of the most challenging tasks – like detecting specks of foreign object debris in aeronautical positioning systems or hairline fractures in ocean submersibles. 

By chance we stumbled upon the ability to characterize features inside sealed collectible card containers – something we publicized as a typical [case study] on our website. Because we did not have a full understanding of the scope of the collectibles market, we believed the case study to be trivial, or at most a marketing tool for potential industrial markets (packaging manufacturers, metal 3D printing, coating application studies, and so on).

This [novel service offering] went viral in a matter of days, quickly and simultaneously producing intense social media critique and hundreds of requests by the common man and world-renowned brands alike. Interestingly, some of the most vocally opposed have had the audacity to request their own products be imaged. While every potential and actual client is covered under our quality management system NDA, readers should know just how pervasive this technological capability has become for the collectibles market. Our client base is global and covers all levels of the industry.

Due to the ethical quandary of revealing the contents of sealed collectibles, we have also received requests for consultation from a variety of manufacturers and packaging firms. To satisfy this alternative demand, we have developed and filed a Provisional Patent Application regarding a new and extremely effective technology designed to mitigate the feasibility of CT scanning collectibles. Our hope is that this intellectual property is licensed or purchased so that we can exit this space and focus back toward more challenging and purpose-driven work. In the meantime, we will continue to make this technology accessible to all, work to expose exactly what can and can’t be imaged effectively, and investigate additional mitigation technologies.

World’s First Collector Card CT Scanning Service

UPDATE 8/3/2024:
We are aware of and working through the moral dilemma of CT scanning sealed collectibles. Our objective position is one of scientific ability and data-driven results. It is not our responsibility to determine the ethical positions and choices of others and we do not accept responsibility for their actions.
1. We have brought awareness to the entire industry of the existence and capabilities of this technology; it is up to individuals to make informed decisions moving forward.
2. In light of information we have received from industry insiders, we believe companies are using this technology in secret to take advantage of the collectibles market.
3. We are making this technology accessible to everyone rather than to just a minority.
4. We are working on policies to combat deceptive practices.
5. We are working on partnering with manufacturers to develop packaging security solutions.
6. We will continue to consider every request we receive.
7. This technology is here to stay and there will probably be additional companies offering it as a service at some time in the future.
8. The majority of requests we have received have been from people curious about the value of their “30 year old collectible” and if this is their opportunity for a life changing moment.
