Fast, precise, reliable: weld seam inspection for industry
Welding permanently joins components or materials together. The quality requirements for welds are correspondingly high— 100 percent inspection is the norm. Photonfocus develops and manufactures sensors and ready-to-use embedded vision systems that are characterized by high productivity and cost-effectiveness. They are suitable for quality control in laser welding and laser brazing processes, as well as for gas-shielded welding and other applications. For weld seam inspection, 3D and HDR sensors are used, which produce high-resolution images with a very wide dynamic range. This enables precise measurement results even under very bright lighting conditions.
With their linear-logarithmic sensor response curve, Photonfocus sensors can perform 2D and 3D inspections simultaneously . In this case, for example, 3D laser triangulation provides information about the profile of the weld seam, while 2D grayscale analysis examines the seam structure. Even the smallest cracks and voids are thus reliably detected Identified. compact, robust design Onboard data processing and high data transfer ratesmake Photonfocus camera systems the ideal solution for use in fully automated inspection systems or standalone solutions.
