Blackbird Robotersysteme, manufacturer of system solutions for remote laser welding, offers optical coherence tomography (OCT) for automated weld seam inspection. The fully inline-capable solution enables contactless detection and classification of seam defects in real time without affecting cycle times or welding results. The combination of multi-stage inspection logic, PLC integration and flexible adaptability to different seam geometries makes the system a scalable tool for series production. The new OCT Seam Inspection feature provides users with a powerful extension for inline quality assurance in the welding process. The feature is completely cycle-time neutral and can be integrated directly into production without any time losses.
