Vision-Based Quality Inspection

Vision-based quality inspection uses cameras and image processing to instantly detect weld defects. Advantage: fast defect detection and reduction of defects.

Physicochemical Mechanism of Action

Cameras capture the surface of the weld, while image processing software recognizes specific patterns or deviations. This technique is based on the analysis of colors, shapes and structures.

Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks

The inspection helps detect pores, cracks, overlaps or incomplete joints. Missing inspections can lead to undetected defects that later become problems on site or safety risks.

Workshop Practice & Instructions

Use cameras with high resolution and calibrate them precisely on the weld. Use image processing software optimized specifically for detecting weld defects. Make sure the inspection takes place directly after welding to ensure maximum accuracy.
