Atlas Copco RTVision.t for 2D in-process inspection of adhesive beads
RTVision.t (2D in-process inspection)
Safety-critical, structural bonds are highly demanding processes. This is why a reliable bead inspection is crucial. The RTVision.t detects errors in width, position, and continuity of the bead, providing direct feedback and allowing immediate reaction.
Proven method for battery production
Battery assembly is faced with particular challenges, such as air bubbles and bead accuracy. Our Atlas Copco RTVision.t solves these problems and ensures 100% quality control at every step of the process. This guarantees complete conductivity and optimal heat dissipation between modules and cold plates, contributing to the longevity of the battery.
Versatile application patterns
The RTVision.t accommodates different application patterns, including bead, stitch bead, or swirl. With the flexibility to choose lightning colors individually, the system is able to detect any adhesive material color with the highest contrast quality.
Key Features
- Highly accurate 2D inline inspection in real time
- Includes integrated light unit (700 LEDs)
- High image processing frequency allows high productivity levels with robot speed up to 600mm/s
- Different sensors for covering working distance from 75mm to 230mm
Atlas Copco RTVision.3d for 360° bead inspection in-proccess
RTVision.3d (3D in-process inspection)
Measuring the width, position, and continuity of adhesive applications in automotive production is essential for a high-quality result. With RTVision.3d, we bring quality assurance to a new level with an additional application height measurement that checks the volume applied according to your needs.
Width, position & continuity
Demands increase on various quality factors, and high-quality adhesive bonds are becoming more important in the automotive industry. Our RTVision.3d comes with a patented 3D sensor with six cameras and lasers for 360° bead inspection. The sensor is therefore able to inspect width, position, continuity and the height and applied volume of the adhesive application even with challenging types and colors (e.g. black on black). In-process solution with real-time generation of a full point cloud.
Inspection allrounder
The 100% 3D inline solution can be used to monitor body-in-white applications for safety-critical structural bonds. Also, for various applications in battery manufacturing, such as cell bonding or battery sealing, the RTVision.3d is the perfect solution for quality inspection. For glazing in final assembly, you can monitor the optimal bead height directly during the application process and thus avoid leaks.
Key features
- Inspection in every dimension (accurate measurement in corners, on edges, in channel features, etc.)
- Six (6) cameras and six (6) laser lines in one sensor
- Laser class 2 to protect operator
- Three configurations covering the working distances 100 – 210mm
Atlas Copco RTVision.s system
Key features
LED Light panel:
- 1250 LEDs provides optimal light conditions
- Independent of ambient light
- For best contrasting quality
- High performance through integrated strobe controller
RTVision.s (2D post-process inspection)
For certain production processes, a post-process inspection is more suitable. A common reason is that the system used is not able to accommodate an inline inspection sensor. The Atlas Copco RTVision.s is the solution for comprehensive and large-scale quality assessments. The RTVision.s consists of two main components that may be combined individually depending on your process demands. The high-performance camera takes pictures of the application while the LED light panel provides strong light impulses for the best contrasting quality.
Post-process excellence in every segment
In the dynamic world of body and paint shop processes, the Atlas Copco RTVision.s emerges as the ultimate post-process solution for dispensing applications. It delivers robust process validation and efficient flaw detection, particularly in large application areas like structural bonding and seam sealing—especially in the case of doors and side panels.
Specific algorithms for all sort of application sizes
The RTVision.s specializes in inspecting adhesive applications, whether they are area-wide or spot-shaped. Utilizing sophisticated algorithms, it meticulously checks outer contour continuity and gap presence, ensuring unparalleled reliability in sealing and safety-critical bonds.
Camera unit:
- New compact design
- High accuracy over resolution
- Three variants cover the most field of views
Our offering for in-process and post-process inspections of dispensing applications
In-process and post-process inspection
In-process inspection
The quality inspection takes place directly in process, which means little to no additional cycle time is required for the qualitative assessment.
Benefits:
- Full quality control of all produced parts
- Automated bead repair possible with 2D
Post-process inspection
The visual inspection takes place after the actual production process. Therefore, additional time is required to assess the quality.</p>
Benefits :
- Inspection of adhesive dispensing materials and applications in one step (e.g. round bead, stitch bead, swirl and flat stream)
- Flexibility tailored to the manufacturing process (vision system is adaptable in configuration)
