Automotive Verification
Automotive subassemblies are often produced in very high volumes making human assembly and verification impractical. Todays assembly lines utilize the latest in automation technology to meet throughput and ensure manufacturing quality. At the same time, automotive suppliers have to maintain flexibility in their manufacturing processes to accommodate small or large assembly changes associated with different makes and models of cars. For these demanding applications, machine vision systems are widely used to guide robots, track parts and verify every step of the evolving assembly process.

How Easy to Use is Your Current Machine Vision System?

If you are an automotive manufacturer or supplier currently using vision, how long would it take to setup your vision system to verify and validate the following? Guide a robot for assembly or welding Verify the correct orientation of a part or assembly  Count the number of welds, teeth, slots or other such features Read a barcode, 2D matrix code or stamped characters Perform a critical dimensional measurement Check for surface defects before painting Determine the location, diameter and roundness of a hole  Verify the integrity and uniformity of an adhesive bead or gasket  Communicate with 3rd party equipment such as robots, PLCs, HMIs and remote storage

Machine Vision Tools

P  attern finding and presence/absence for locating and identifying parts on an assembly E  dge corner, line, circle and line segment detection tools to find part features 2  D matrix decoders and OCR readers for part identification and tracking C  olor tools to measure amount and location of colored elements such as automotive fuses C  ounting tools to determine number of parts and indicate missing parts B  lob analysis tools for counting and dimensioning areas of similar color or contrast on the part B  ead tool for inspecting beads of glue that attach gaskets to automotive assemblies Gauging tools for accurate part measurement
