Visual image processing system

A vision-based image processing system uses a camera to capture the weld joint and molten pool. It provides high-resolution data for automatic quality control and process regulation.

Physical-Chemical Working Principle

The visual imaging system uses a camera to capture the weld joint and molten pool in real time. It analyzes colors, shapes, and movements to collect data.

Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks

Accurate capture of the weld joint and molten pool allows precise quality control. It can detect defects like porosity, cracks, or uneven deformation and correct them in real time. Without such a system, weld quality may suffer.

Workshop Practice & Procedures

Install the camera system at the welding spot and make sure it captures the whole joint and molten pool. Calibrate the camera regularly to ensure high accuracy. Use the data for automatic control loops to continually optimize the process.
