Application Spotlight: Adhesives and Sealant Inspection

THERMAL IMAGING ENSURES QUALITY AND ELIMINATES "BREAKS" IN GLUE BEAD PROCESS

Glue bead placement accuracy is critical to achieve the desired structural integrity and sealing performance. Manufacturers can monitor this process with visible-light cameras, but the enormous variety of adhesive materials and lighting conditions present challenges. A thermal imager or an IR temperature sensor can help users easily determine whether the glue bead has been applied properly, has gaps, and is within the required temperature limits.
