Error proofing and quality control for glue bead inspection
Glue bead inspection in automotive manufacturing faces challenges like ensuring adhesive bed presence, accurate measurement, varying lighting conditions, and different substrate types. Solutions involve accurate machine vision, robust lighting, machine learning, and calibration.
Challenge
Ensuring quantity and placement in varied environments
Glue bead inspection is a critical process in automotive manufacturing. The challenges for glue bead inspection in automotive welding include ensuring the presence of the adhesive bed, measuring the correct quantity and location, working with varying lighting conditions and dealing with different substrate types. Addressing these challenges requires accurate machine vision systems coupled with robust lighting systems, machine learning capabilities, and proper calibration techniques.

AI Filter | FH-series Vision System
OMRON is using artificial intelligence to reproduce the visual sensitivity and experience of human inspectors. The AI filter detects scratches with human-like sensitivity. Using an AI filter equipped with defect extraction technology, only the points that are estimated to be scratches with be automatically extracted. The AI algorithms extract the scratch itself, rather than the definition based on colour and brightness. This makes defect detection much more stable flaw. The AI filter eliminates missed defects and AI Fine Matching avoids overdetection almost entirely. No special environment construction or expertise required. OMRON offers the best combination of camera and controller for your inspection systems in terms of precision, speed and cost. The FH-series vision system reproduces human sensibility and experience with AI technology. Learn more about FH-series Vision System here: Learn more about FH Smart Cameras here:
