Automatic inspection of welding spots during production

In welding processes, the optical 3D measurement device InfiniteFocus® is used to automatically measure and classify welding spots and solerding joints during production. The inline surface inspection is performed in seconds and saves costly rework. A 100% inspection and automatic classification with go/no go status is achieved through robust surface measurement. This can be achieved across the geometry of the whole spot including steep flanks, complex reflection properties and scale caused by burning.

100% inspection and automatic classification with go/no go status is achieved through robust surface measurement.

To define go/no go parameters such as irregularities due to scaling, topography is measured including the fully registe­red 3D color information of the welding spots’ topography. This unique combination of robust topographical data and true color information provides the go/no go data for weld classification plus advanced metrology information. This detailed information provides advanced quality assurance as scaled patches are easily identified, quantified and measured. InfiniteFocus® is also used for the 3D measurement of pins and pads.
