Intuitive analysis software offers weld seam inspection
- August 20, 2015
- Product Release
- Testing and Measuring
Vitronic offers a new release of its VIROwsi weld seam inspection system. The analysis software has a new design to help ensure intuitiveness and usability.
At the heart of the optical system is a user interface for setting the parameters of machine vision components and for configuring new seams, as well as image evaluation, logging, and data archiving.
The configuration of new seams requires the creation of inspection programs, or recipes, that define parameters such as inspection sequence, inspection limits, and inspection criteria in accordance with production requirements. If changes are needed to an existing inspection process, they can be made while an inspection is in progress. Once confirmed by the user, they are applied to the inspection of the next part.
The graphic design of the user interface and the system's intuitive navigation enable simplified teach-in of inspection sequences and inspection limits. Users can select from a variety of configuration functions. They can access predefined templates of standard seam types or have scan frequency and ranges calculated automatically.
Inspection results are presented in a clear, structured format in different views. Defects such as pores and holes are displayed in high-precision 3-D. The software classifies the defects and shows detailed information about the position and type of defect in each case. Inspection results for individual seams are shown in real time on a photo of the component.
All information is immediately calculated into a view of real-time statistics. In parallel, it is stored in an integrated database, where it is linked with component and seam IDs for subsequent tracking, evaluation, and statistics. With the help of the database-supported evaluation tool and the real-time statistics function, the user can detect process deviations early on.
