Inspection and sealing control

Softsystem offers a variety of solutions based on the customer's inspection requirements. Multiple vision systems have been developed for sealant inspection and testing, such as:

• 2D matrix cameras: a fast and precise system for detecting the continuity and width of the sealant path. A single acquisition allows the entire sealant path to be checked. The metal base is positioned under the vision system, integrated with illuminators, and the inspection cycle is initiated. The trigger can be given either manually by an operator or automatically by a line management system.
• 3D Profilometer: It is a system capable of acquiring the entire dimensions of the sealant. A peculiarity is the possibility, thanks to the special software created by SoftSystem, to analyze the sealant section with a step of approximately 0.5 mm. Unlike a 2D system where it is possible, with a single acquisition, to maintain excellent resolution and have a framed area of ​​different sizes, in this case it is necessary to break the path into several parts depending on the length of the path. Furthermore, a robotic system is required that can transport the profit along the entire route.
• Stroboscopic Camera for 3D acquisitions: It was designed to acquire high-resolution 3D images that, when combined with 3D vision tools and software, enable reliable and accurate solutions for a variety of applications in different industrial sectors, such as the automotive industry. Thanks to the large image region, the entire sealing path can be acquired at a speed of 200 msec and analyzed in 3D, enabling higher productivity and shorter cycle times for in-line applications with limited lead times. This type of stereoscopic vision camera provides high-resolution images constructed from a 3D point cloud. With this application, all the checks of the two previous systems are guaranteed at a faster speed than a 3D profilometer.
