Looking to master bead quality throughout the process?

Every automotive and electronics manufacturing process is unique, and so are the inspection requirements. Our modular integrated vision solutions ensure full control over critical bead quality parameters – everytime.

One partner – One solution

At Atlas Copco, we don’t just deliver vision systems – we deliver complete solutions.

Our integrated vision solutions perfectly complement your dispensing equipment. Both technologies go hand in hand, creating a seamless integration that delivers maximum precision and reliability. No matter the challenge, our vision systems ensure reliable bead quality. From varying materials and part tolerances to complex bead shapes, we offer unmatched flexibility, and with one unified service team supporting all systems.

Ensuring reliable bead quality
Ensuring reliable bead quality
Reliable bead quality is essential for ensuring long‑term structural performancesealing integrity, and stable production results. Variations in material behavior, ambient conditions, or robot motion can easily lead to deviations that remain unnoticed without continuous monitoring. Our integrated vision solutions detect these deviations immediately, ensuring every bead meets the required specifications for width, height, volume, and position.

By adding automated inspection to the dispensing process, manufacturers reduce rework, prevent defects from moving downstream, and maintain consistent quality across all production batches. Our product lines SCA and Scheugenpflug offer a diverse dispensing, potting and adhesive bonding portfolio designed for all kinds of automotive, electronics and medical applications.

Why does vision inspection matter?

With precise control over key bead parameters like position, width, continuity, volume and height, you gain reliable, traceable quality across every application.

Avoid safety risks

Adhesive defects like air bubbles or misaligned beads can lead to corrosion, noise, or even structural failure in safety-critical applications.

Meet documentation standards

Traceability is essential to comply with norms like DIN 2304 and customer-specific requirements.

Enable root cause analysis

Vision systems link inspection data to specific components and process steps, helping identify and resolve defects faster.

Reduce costs

Full process documentation minimizes rework, warranty claims, and material waste.

Full control & traceability

Real-time monitoring and complete documentation.

Vision technology as enabler

Inline inspection ensures 100% coverage and immediate error correction.

Which vision solutions are available for your inspection needs?

We offer in-process and post-process inspections for all kinds of dispensing applications
In-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.
