Arc Welding
Defect Detection
ADLINK Edge™ machine vision AI solution detects robotic arc welding defects to increase output, improve quality and reduce costs
Automating Welding Defect Detection in Real-Time
ADLINK and Intel have developed an automated defect-detection solution for robotic arc welding in heavy equipment manufacturing using machine vision AI to increase output, improve quality and reduce costs. The system detects welding porosity defects and stops the welding process performed by a robotic arm. The integrated solution sends a stop command to the robot when a defect is identified – all in real-time at the edge and has proven 97% accuracy in detecting weld porosity defects.

This provides a ready-to-deploy solution for manufacturers and an easy-to-scale offering for system integrators.

The machine vision AI solution includes
ADLINK Edge™ IoT software and EOS-i6000-M Series
Real-time automated quality inspection
Powered by ADLINK Edge™
With this machine vision solution manufacturers can see welds up close in a way never before possible with manual inspection: frame by frame, allowing defects to be detected and acted upon in real time.
Combined with an easy, flexible machine interface, the solution helps manufacturers automatically monitor and helps stop the welding process and enable revisions before a part requires scrapping. Designed to be flexible and scalable from the start, the arc-welding solution aids additional defect detection with fast and simplified model retraining. Using the solution, manufacturers can reduce delays, wastage, and costs, and increase productivity.
