Reconfigurable Measuring System for Quality Control of Cross-Wire Welding Group of Products

Quality control of welded joint is an indispensable part of the welding production process. As part of spot resistance welding group, cross-wire welding process showed great application for welding of products for everyday usage. The non-contact quality control checking is fit for purpose due to specific characteristics of welded products that consist of two cross welded wires or a combination of wires and strips. This work proposes a new method for detecting and measuring of required dimensional parameters, but also founds its applicability for other products if required. A crucial parameter of this research is the height of welded joint, which is necessary for calculating the penetration of the wire into the wire. The proposed measuring method with a reconfigurable measuring system is explained in this paper. The main component of this system is using a machine vision system, which has become an indispensable part of industrial metrology and is considered one of the industry 4.0 concepts. The calibration process for such systems could be very complicated. This work shows an elaborated calibration procedure for this kind of measuring system with referenced standards made for this purpose. Measurement results are compared with ones obtained by conventional method. The focus of vision system is a substantial part as it dictates the quality of the system. This research is done within the project in collaboration with the industrial sector and all samples are from real processes. The results of measured penetration on one product group are showing the applicability of a reconfigurable measuring system in the welding sector, and demonstrate that measurement of welding penetration based on machine vision is feasible and can ensure accuracy.
