ADLINK and Intel have developed an automated solution for detecting porosity defects in robotic arc welding. The system utilizes ADLINK's EOS-1620 machine vision platform, ADLINK Edge IoT software, and the Intel Distribution of OpenVINO toolkit to analyze video frames from cameras mounted on welding guns. This setup allows for real-time detection of defects that are difficult for human inspectors to see in harsh factory environments.
| Detection Accuracy | Up to 97.14 percent |
|---|---|
| Camera Placement | 12 to 14 inches from weld |
| Processor | Intel Core i7 |
| VPU | Intel Movidius Myriad X |
The solution is designed to automatically detect porosity defects in welds.
When defects are detected, the solution instantly switches off the robot using a stop command over Modbus or OPC UA.
No, the solution uses light from the weld sparks and does not rely on any external light sources.
