This paper presents a vision based autonomous inspection system for welding quality control of a RV sinking seat. In order to overcome the precision error that arises from a visible inspection by an operator in the manufacturing process of a RV sinking seat, the machine vision based welding quality control system is proposed. It consists of the CMOS camera and the NI vision system. The geometry of the welding bead, which is the welding quality criteria, is measured by using the captured image with a median filter applied on it. The image processing software for the system was developed using the NI LabVIEW software. The proposed welding quality inspection system for RV sinking seat was verified using experimentation.

This paper presents a stereo vision based autonomous inspection system for welding quality control of a RV(Recreational Vehicle) sinking seat. The three dimensional geometry of the welding bead, which is the welding quality criteria, is measured by using the captured stereo images with a median filter applied on it. The image processing software for the system was developed using the NI LabVTEW software with NI vision system. In the manufacturing process of a RV sinking seat, the developed system can be used for overcoming the precision error that arises from a visible inspection by an operator. The welding quality inspection system for RV sinking seat was verified using experimentation.

This paper presents a vision based autonomous inspection system for welding quality control of car sinking seat. In order to overcome the precision error that arises from a visible inspection by operator in the manufacturing process of a car sinking seat, this paper proposes the MVWQC (machine vision based welding quality control) system. This system consists of the CMOS camera and NI machine vision system. The image processing software for the system has been developed using the NI vision builder system. The geometry of welding bead, which is the welding quality criteria, is measured by using the captured image with median filter applied on it. Experiments have been performed to verify the proposed MVWQC of car sinking seat.

최근 자동차 안전에 대한 수요자의 요구가 증대되면서 용접부에 대한 품질검사방식도 강화되고 있다. 이에 따라 시트구조물의 용접부 비드 형상치수를 육안검사 또는 수동검사에 의존하던 방식에서 전수기록검사에 의한 품질관리가 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 시트프레임 용접부의 품질검사를 위하여 작업자가 용접비드를 측정하면 자동으로 계측되는 시스템을 LabVIEW를 이용하여 개발하였다. 용접부의 비드 폭과 길이에 대한 품질 기준을 입력하여 놓으면 측정 시 측정하고자 하는 대상이 비드길이 인지 폭인지를 자동으로 판단하여 측정되도록 하였으며 측정된 데이터는 포인트별로 저장 기록되어 용접부의 품질기록을 보존토록 하였다. 이러한 시스템을 자동차 시트 용접부에 적용하여 실험하였으며 품질관리 작업효율에 좋은 영향을 주었다.

An Inspection system, composed of sensor head and controller, is presented which is a 3-D laser vision system using principles of optical triangulation for weld quality and chamfer quality. The sensor head id composed of laser diode, micro CCD camera, filter and several optical components. This systems can be used in welding bead and undercut inspection and chamfer quality inspection as well. It is mech more convenient to use and the inspection time is to be greatly shortened compared with conventional inspection method. Furthermore, data saved in controller can be used for statistics afterwards. This system has been begin used in Koje Shipyard of Samsung Heavy Industries and the need is being increased.

In order to inspect the quality of spot welding, inefficient destructive test and NDT (non destructive testing) utilizing expensive foreign ultrasonic inspection are being conducted in the automobile production lines, but NDT will be difficult to be used in the domestic automobile production due to complexity of the waveform analysis and lack of mobility. In this paper, NDT system inspecting the quality of spot welding based on mobile network is proposed to complement drawbacks of the conventional inefficient destructive testing and NDT inspecting the quality of spot welding. Regardless of daily condition of NDT tester, the proposed NDT system can determine the quality of spot welding automatically and transmit the information of NDT quality to smart devices of field workers in real-time so that convenience of NDT and productivity of automobile production will be improved. Several specimens with a variety of welding quality was produced to evaluate the performance of the proposed mobile ultrasonic NDT system and the conventional foreign equipment, through this experiments, the proposed mobile ultrasonic NDT system indicate the superior properties compared to the conventional equipment in terms of convenience, productivity, and economic.

For the resistance spot welds of CR1180 and GA1180 TRIP steels, the weld quality evaluation method using the digitalized X-ray transmission imaging apparatus was investigated in comparison with the crosssectional examination method. In the case of the resistance spot welding of CR1180, three circular regions, such as WZ(white zone), GZ(grey zone) and DZ(dark zone), appeared on X-ray image and they corresponded to the diameters of indentation mark, nugget and corona bond, respectively. The variation of X-ray transmission thickness due to the thickness variation of the weld seemed to be mainly responsible for the formation of those contrasts. The X-ray image contrast formed from the variation of transmission thickness at the outer border line of DZ could also enable the inspections of the notch shape, nonuniformity of the welding pressure and spatter from its sharpness, concentricity and the normal straight line, respectively. The X-ray image of the resistance spot weld of galvannealed GA1180 TRIP steel was very similar to that of CR1180 TRIP steel except the crown shaped outer border line of DZ which was considered to be due to the melting behavior of zinc having the boiling temperature even lower than the melting temperature of steel.

A-Scan NDT equipment is widely used in the industrial field because it is inexpensive and easy to carry but it is necessary to have a skilled inspection specialist who is trained to analyze the waveform of ultrasonic signal. Since the welding quality is judged subjectively by the specialist, there is a problem in the reliability of the quality. In the C-Scan NDT which overcomes the shortcomings of the A-Scan, welding part can be represented in the form of two dimensional image by combining one dimensional ultrasonic waveform so that the quality of welding can be grasped without the help of specialist. In order to develop C-Scan NDT, it is necessary to develop an array type two dimensional transducer and an algorithm to composing image by combining ultrasonic signals generated from a two dimensional transducer. In addition, the noise component must be minimized in the ultrasonic signal in order to display the quality of welding in the form of images. Therefore we propose a method to remove noise component from the ultrasonic wave and construct a two dimensional ultrasonic image.

조선소에서 이루어지는 선박 건조는 용접에 의해 수행되고 있으며, 친환경선박에 대한 국제적인 요구에 따라 용접물량은 증가하고 있다. 용접부는 비파괴검사를 통하여 품질을 보증하고 있으며, 검사 정보를 나타내는 리포트는 인력이 설계된 도면을 확인하여 수작업으로 용접검사 리포트가 작성된다. 이 과정에서 소요되는 많은 공수와 인적오류로 인하여 손실이 발생하고 있다. 이러한 문제 해결을 위해 본 논문에서는 조선 전용 CAD 소프트웨어를 기반으로 설계된 데이터를 입력하여 용접검사에 관한 리포트가 자동으로 생성되는 시스템에 대하여 다룬다. 개발하는 시스템은 모델링의 도면으로부터 형상 데이터를 분석하여 부재 면의 확장을 통해 용접부를 판단 및 태그 넘버를 생성하고, 용접길이, 두께, 재질 등 검사에 필요한 정보를 자동으로 추출하는 기능을 제공한다. 시스템의 유용성을 검증하기 위해 시스템을 통해 추출된 검사 정보와 모델링 도면을 비교하여 일치하는 것을 확인하였다.
