3D Inspection

Three-Dimensional Weld Seam Inspection on Front Suspension Subframes The task A motor manufacturer welds front suspension subframes on a production line. The aluminum components are welded together automatically at two stations. An automatic visual check assesses the quality of the weld seam prior to the part arriving at the second welding station. The 3D visual measurement ensures that the welds from the first station have adequate throat thickness.

100% inline weld inspection of steel wheels The task On a production line, wheels consisting of two parts, the wheel rim and the hub are welded together using the MIG-welding process. Vitronic’s weld inspection system VIROwsi inspects the weld seams in a station incorporated into an automated production line for the following criteria: missing welds, weld length, weld height, pores, pearls and burnt-in or edge notches. Benefit Parts that are essential to safety, such as vehicle wheels, demand a 100% reliable quality inspection.
