Claim:
1. A system for checking the quality of hot melt applied onto an object that is assembled with said hot melt, said system comprising: an imaging device responsive to both a thermal image that emanates from said hot melt and a multi-dimensional image which is representative of a geometric feature associated with said object; a controller comprising a processing device cooperative with said imaging device to determine if signals received therefrom that correspond to said applied hot melt and said at least one geometric feature meet predetermined deposition criteria for said assembled object; and a timing mechanism cooperative with said controller to determine a length of time between deposition of said hot melt on said object and arrival of said object to within sensing range of said imaging device; a notification device responsive to said processing device to provide indicia of whether said predetermined deposition criteria is met.
