The common way that windshields are bonded to a vehicle is
through a urethane bead based adhesive. Given that there are many
laws regarding the minimal holding strength the
sealant must have, accurate measuring of the amount used is
paramount. Our VisionGauge®
OnLine software is capable of
measuring the width & height of the sealant bead used in the
automotive industry. This is possible thanks to our Laser triangulation
systems. These systems include a high-resolution camera as well
as a LASER oriented at 45 degrees relative to the camera’s optical
centerline. The LASER projects a very thin and straight line at the point
of measurement. By measuring the LASER line’s offset across the
camera’s field-of-view, the system can automatically measure, very
accurately, the height of the sealant. These laser measurements
are carried out when the sealant bead is still un-cured, and
thus "gelatinous".
Above you can see a sample image of our Laser triangulation system working on a urethane bead. Our systems have proven accuracy when measuring urethane bead. Furthermore, the systems are fully customizable to better fit your application. For more information please contact us . |
