Inspection Type
Weld Bead Inspection for Automotive Assemblies
In-process measurement of weld bead geometry — width, height, undercut, porosity, and arc strike — against your weld procedure specification (WPS) and AIAG control plan.
Weld Parameters
Weld parameters measured automatically.
Bead Width
Measured at the fusion line intersection. Compared to WPS minimum and maximum width specification.
Crown Height
Peak bead height above base metal plane. Out-of-range crown indicates improper wire feed or travel speed.
Undercut Depth
Groove depth at weld toe. Undercut >0.3mm is a reject criterion per AWS D8 and AIAG weld control plans.
Porosity Detection
Surface porosity voids detected via structured light depth map. Sub-millimeter pore detection at line speed.
Arc Strike
Arc strike spatter and stray burn marks detected outside the weld zone boundary. Reported with pixel coordinate.
Continuity & Length
Weld bead continuity check for skip welds and stitch patterns. Length measured against WPS nominal.
3D Measurement
Weld cross-section measurement from structured-light 3D.
Compliance
WPS and IATF 16949 §7.5 documentation compliance.
Every weld inspection result is stored with a reference to the active Weld Procedure Specification (WPS) revision. The result record includes: WPS document number, revision, parameter set ID, inspection timestamp, part serial, and disposition.
IATF 16949 §7.5 requires that documented information created to provide evidence of conformance to requirements shall be retained. Qcvisionly's weld inspection log satisfies this requirement directly, with zero manual data entry.
