Coherix 3D GlassMaster Tracker.
Coherix adds a new product to its 3D GlassMaster product family, the Coherix 3D GlassMaster Tracker. The range provides 3D inspection of high-profile adhesive and sealant beads that are typically used in automotive glass, battery cover seals and other applications. The new launch enhances the product family’s offering by adding powerful software that allows for Adaptive Process Control (APC) capabilities.
Boasting a large field of view, the GlassMaster Tracker can track the edge of the glass to control the location of the high-profile bead relative to the edge of the glass. This helps to ensure a perfect seal of the glass into the body of a car or that a battery cover is correctly sealed to the case.
To help provide quality assurance, the GlassMaster Tracker helps to control the distance between the nozzle tip and the surface of the glass. To meet safety standards, a controlled gap of +/- one millimetre must be met. The seal will prevent moisture and gas leaks in batteries if done correctly.
Overall, Coherix’s latest launch provides robust 3D inspection and traceability for high-profile bead dispensing processes. Making robot path corrections in real-time, the tracker controls the bead location. This technology is the basis of Coherix's APC solutions. Data is then collected and compared, in line and real-time at line speed.
