PVC Seam Inspection

Car Position Measurement

Car Position Measurement

Robots in the production can only complete their task accurately with a reliable detection of the car body position in the cell.

The ISRA VISION Car Position Measurement (CAPMES) System is the industry standard on the market: it is easy to set up and ensures reliable, precise 3D recognition of the body position and orientation in stop & go operation or line tracking in the cell based on a combination of multiple cameras directed at certain features of the car body (e.g. holes, edges, corners) from various directions.

The 3D position of the body detected by the system is used to provide the off-set data to guide robots accurately in a downstream processing step. As a result, car body tolerances and mechanical position deviations can be compensated perfectly and a wide range of car body types can be accommodated on a single line.

Benefits

Fast and precise measurement of car body position for accurate robot guidance

Full flexibility for handling multiple car types in single production line

Reduced cycle time compared to mechanical fitting systems

Reliable function even under harsh conditions with built-in redundancies

Maximum uptime with automatic failed measurement recovery of alternate feature allowance

Features

Reliable feature detection with HDR image capturing
Automatic calibration check and recalibration
Easy-to-use software with graphical user interface

PVC Seam Inspection

Car Position Measurement

Cosmetic Sealing & Tool Inspection Box

Different car models and complex parts geometries produced on the same line require precise robot guidance for high-quality application of beads. The accuracy of the robot applying the bead significantly increases the quality of the time-consuming sealing process for roofs, doors, hoods and flaps.

The robot-mounted Q-GAGE3D sensor system determines the position and orientation of part contours for the application of fine and visible seams. The position deviations detected are used to accurately guide robots in the seam application. An additional gap check can be integrated prior to applicating the seam to further ensure the precise process. The Tool Inspection Box (TIB) automatically checks the nozzle for damage after each application to avoid scrap and damage to the car body.

The result is consistent quality, especially for all relevant visible seams.

Benefits

Highly precise application of beads significantly increases productivity and fulfills the high demands in function, quality, and aesthetic

Reproduceable application of bead material within exact tolerances

Full flexibility for handling multiple car types in single production line

Automated teaching process reduces onsite commissioning and the integration time for new parts

Reduced preventive maintenance requirements

Features and technical data

Features

High speed image processing on integrated FPGA
Path correction software with almost NO Teach-In and Re-Teach Effort
Sophisticated Time Synchronization between Robot and Sensor

Technical data

Scan frequency up to 500Hz for robot speed of approx. 600mm/s possible
Measuring Principle: Laser Line Triangulation
Fast TCP/IP interface to send robot poses in interpolation cycle of robot (~10ms)

PVC Seam Inspection

Car Position Measurement

Paint Inspection

The CarPaintVision (CPV) surface inspection system detects and classifies all relevant paint defects on car body surfaces in a cycle-time-neutral manner – on-the-fly or stop & go. With modern hybrid-technology, almost all car paint defects are detected at a rate of well over 98.5%. Inspection data is evaluated in the process cycle using proven algorithms and classified according to individual customer specifications. Defect information is immediately available for continuous optimization of the production process. Optionally, the detected defects can be automatically marked for rework in a downstream station.

Car Position Measurement

Foam Insertion

Automotive manufacturers use PU foam to dampen the sound inside a vehicle’s cab and prevent road, wind, and engine noise from entering the vehicle interior. These foams are dispensed into vehicle pillars inside the car body, doors, fenders, and other cavities with special application systems.

Mobile robot guidance systems enable the fast and accurate application of PU foams by detecting cavity openings unique to each car model. The STEREO3D sensor system determines the position and orientation of objects using identifiable features such as holes. The position deviations it detects are used to guide robots accurately in downstream processing steps. As a result, mechanical position deviations can be compensated perfectly. Furthermore, a wide range of product types on a single line can be accommodated. Depending on the application, multiple sensors can be combined as necessary.

Benefits

Features

Automatic adjustment of the robot guidance
“Stop-&-Go” or “On-the-Fly” layout possible

Production Analytics

Ensure that your quality standards are met: With comprehensive visualization, analysis, reporting, and alerting tools, IQ-VIS enables live monitoring of ongoing production. The database system collects, consolidates, aggregates, and analyzes all results from the various measurement systems throughout a production facility.

IQ-VIS is an intelligent toolbox for a wide range of users, such as maintenance, operations, and management. The client-server architecture allows data to be accessed both locally and across plants.

This makes production more transparent and allows emerging trends to be visualized in the shortest possible time. Negative influences on product quality can be addressed immediately before quality problems cause additional costs.
