Optical weld seam inspection in quality control with AI

Thanks to advanced industrial robots, an automated welding process is the current state of the art. The mechanization of the welding process makes it possible to meet the high standards and requirements of Industry 4.0. Consistently high quality at high production speeds is a key factor in the success of automated welding processes. Automated weld seam inspection is also part of a complete optimization of the process chain. The use of AI offers important advantages for production - both for optical non-destructive testing and metallographic testing.

The solution for your automated weld seam inspection

Non-destructive testing with AI

In order for a component to guarantee targeted quality and at the same time comply with every standard, it must be subjected to precise material testing. Traditionally, the visual inspection of weld seams is often carried out manually, in contrast to production. Although the trained employee can react flexibly to eventualities, their consistency, precision and speed still depend on their daily form. For this reason, inspection by the naked eye by personnel is more prone to errors than automated visual inspection of a weld seam.

Just like magnetic particle and penetrant testing, automatic optical testing of weld seams using artificial intelligence is a non-destructive quality control method that enables more precise and faster testing through automation.

Metallographic testing with AI

Metallographic testing is suitable when it comes to understanding the microstructure and possible defects within the weld seam. By analyzing a weld seam using metallography, information can be obtained about the grain structure, the presence of microstructural defects such as pores or inclusions, as well as phase transformations that may occur during the welding process. The linking of AI.SEE™ AI software via a retrofit with the existing microscope system allows automated microstructure and defect analyses or the investigation of heat flow zones of weld seams.
