Geometry check during spot welding

In car body production, the quality of the spot welds is a decisive criterion for stability and safety. Classic 2D vision systems quickly reach their limits here, as they only provide contrast information and do not allow reliable statements to be made about the geometric characteristics of the spot welds. In contrast, the surfaceCONTROL 3D snapshot sensors capture the complete geometry of the spot weld in a single measurement process and generate a high-resolution point cloud. This allows parameters such as height, diameter, shape and position to be precisely determined and automatically compared with the target values. Deviations or faulty spots are detected immediately so that rework or rejects can be minimized.

Fast inline geometry inspection

Thanks to the ability to measure several spot welds simultaneously, the inspection process is significantly accelerated. Thanks to the fast measurement, the surfaceCONTROL 3500 sensors can be integrated directly into the production process - without slowing down the production flow. The 3D sensors therefore make a significant contribution to process reliability and enable consistently high quality in spot weld testing.
