Distinguish Weld and Glue Defects from Acceptable Anomalies

Defects in automotive welds and glue seams compromise quality and safety, increasing the risk of recalls and regulatory action. Inspecting welds and glue beads for defects and consistency is inherently challenging. Tolerable blemishes are visually similar to legitimate defects, and shiny, nonuniform surfaces complicate image formation.

Cognex solves these challenges with powerful vision hardware and software:

• Flexible AI learns by analyzing example images, enabling Cognex solutions to separate acceptable anomalies from true defects.
• Robust image formation and optics maximize contrast on shiny, nonuniform surfaces to reveal subtle defects.
• Dedicated vision tools pinpoint weld and glue bead paths and identify discrepancies.
