Patent ID: 11389908

Abstract:
Embodiments described herein are for determining a weld quality by an imaging device configured to generate one or more signals indicative of a weld bead positioned on at least one part. Machine-readable instruction set causes a computing device to perform at least the following when executed by the processor: capture an initial scan to determine a plurality of offset information based on predetermined part features, activate the imaging device to capture a scan of the weld bead, establish a line scan profile of the weld bead, determine that the scan of the weld bead matches a predetermined weld model, and analyze the weld bead profile to determine a volume of the weld bead, a rising edge of the weld bead, and a falling edge of the weld bead and comparing the weld bead profile to a plurality of predetermined parameters for the weld bead to determine a satisfactory weld quality.
