WELD INSPECTION AUTOMATION

Heat Eyes revolutionizes welding by embedding thermal imaging into your thermoforming process. Mounted directly onto the welding machine, this system ensures consistent top-quality part production and guarantees 100% traceability.

In the plastics industry, non-contact joining methods like infrared and hot gas welding are rapidly gaining popularity. Achieving optimal welds hinges on precise temperature control—a challenging feat due to varying factors influencing temperature during production. With Heat Eyes, thermal imaging cameras capture intricate geometries and rapid temperature changes at 60 frames/second, maintaining accuracy.

Customized for infrared and hot gas welding, Heat Eyes’ analysis tools adapt to complex contours, compensating for component distortions and tolerances. This system ensures continuous temperature monitoring, detecting faulty components, and reducing scrap, while the intuitive interface allows real-time monitoring and immediate action for any abnormalities.

Tailor-made configurations, rugged IP67-rated cameras, and diverse lenses ensure seamless integration into welding processes. Interfaces like fieldbus digital I/Os and data-telegram servers facilitate direct communication with PLCs and data recording systems, ensuring continuous, fault-free operation. Heat Eyes’ self-diagnostic capabilities eliminate most malfunctions automatically, ensuring uninterrupted performance for your welding needs.
