Vitronic has upgraded its VIROwsi weld seam inspection system with a new sensor incorporated in a slim design housing. The system objectively inspects the seam and sorts out defective parts. It determines the size and position of all relevant defects such as pores, holes, undercuts and seam geometry in real time. All results are directly incorporated into a protocol and stored for subsequent tracking. The acquired data forms the basis for the process optimisation, as well as for the manual and automatic reworking of the seam.
The utilisation of the sensor opens up new applications. The compact sensor design ensures good accessibility to the component and the seam under inspection. Due to combined 2D/3D image recording, even extremely flat seams can be reliably inspected. Highly reflective materials such as aluminium can also be inspected.
