Automated glue bead inspection is critical in the automotive and electronics industries. More cars are being assembled using strong adhesives to increase car rigidity and strength. In the electronics industry, glue and epoxy are used to place and seal fine components within micron-accuracy tolerances.
BeadInspect is an all-in-one bead width and position inspection tool used to detect anomalies. BeadInspect offers a robust inspection of the bead line – even if bead size, shape, and appearance change over time. This is important when inspecting a freshly applied, wet or shiny RTV bead, or when the beads vary in location from part to part.
With BeadInspect, you can:
- Easily train the bead path, with just a few clicks, using the PolyLine function
- Find defects in beads that change or differ in shape
- Determine width based on defects and gaps
- Remove noise for increased robustness
Vision bead inspection can be applied in various industries beyond automotive and electronics. Here are some examples:
- Packaging Industry
- Adhesive Sealing: Ensuring the integrity of adhesive seals on packaging, such as cartons, boxes, and pouches.
- Label Application: Verifying the correct application of labels and ensuring they are securely attached.
- Construction and Building Materials
- Sealant Application: Inspecting the application of sealants on windows, doors, and other building materials to ensure proper sealing and insulation.
- Adhesive Bonding: Checking the application of adhesives in the assembly of prefabricated building components.
- Consumer Goods
- Product Assembly: Ensuring the correct application of adhesives in the assembly of consumer products, such as furniture, toys, and appliances.
- Packaging: Verifying the integrity of adhesive seals on consumer product packaging.
- Medical Devices
- Device Assembly: Inspecting the application of adhesives and sealants in the assembly of medical devices to ensure they meet stringent quality standards.
- Packaging: Ensuring the integrity of sterile packaging for medical devices.
- Food and Beverage
- Packaging Seals: Verifying the application of adhesive seals on food and beverage packaging to ensure freshness and prevent contamination.
- Labeling: Ensuring labels are correctly applied and securely attached to packaging.
- Aerospace
- Component Assembly: Inspecting the application of adhesives and sealants in the assembly of aerospace components to ensure they meet safety and performance standards.
- Textiles
- Fabric Bonding: Ensuring the correct application of adhesives in the bonding of fabrics and other materials in textile manufacturing.
These applications highlight the versatility of vision bead inspection in ensuring product quality and consistency across various industries.
