2. Weld Seam Inline Inspection
Besides robot welding, welding guided on machine shafts still represents a usual procedure in industrial applications. Inspection normally does not take place before completion in a separate test routine. By integration of the quality supervision by a laser scanner directly at the end of the process, an additional test routine can be omitted.
This way it is possible to discover improper welding of a long seam (e.g. of a tank) without major delay, otherwise expensive rework would be inevitable. The same is valid for fine defects like cracks, pores or spatters. This prevents production of long passes requiring rework, or even scrap. The quality of the weld is documented at the same time.
