The document describes using a scanCONTROL 2810 laser profile sensor to inspect the application of adhesive beading on termination strips in vehicle manufacturing. The sensor measures the height, width, and position of the adhesive relative to the strip to ensure dimensional requirements are met. It analyzes the profile directly in the controller and provides output if tolerances are exceeded. The complete independent system allows for high-speed inspection of the critical stripping process.

Inspection of adhesive beading on termination strip.
In the vehicle manufacturing process the fitting of Reasons for the system selection
strips onto glass represents a critical stage in the - High speed
process which was previously difficult to inspect. - Measurement in height and width relative
Since the termination strip is glued to glass, the exact to the strip
application of the special adhesive is of decisive - Dynamic tracking of the measurement range
importance. In car production the dimensional - Analysis and assessment directly in the controller
monitoring of height, width and position is required - Rugged and economical system implementation
rather than just a check of presence/absence. - Easy fitting and use
The robot which applies the adhesive to the strip also
carries out the inspection in a second movement. In
this respect the strip is moved under the sensor. The
system scanCONTROL 2810 acquires the profile of
the adhesive beading and calculates the
characterizing parameters online directly in the
controller. The system assesses the position of the
adhesive beading relative to the strip, determines the
width and height and provides tolerance
infringements as control signals via digital outputs.
The tolerance limits for height, width and position of
the adhesive beading are directly configured in the
controller using the ICONNECT parameterization
software included in the supplied items. The
complete system therefore runs in the equipment
independently of an external PC.
