Abstract :
This paper describes an automatic quality control system that supervises through three CCD cameras the assembly of automobile airbag sensors. The main characteristics that can be detected are position, angle and geometric parameters of epoxy resin to fix the accelerator sensor. The system can inspect 12000 pieces/hour and now it is at full production in a multinational automobile component factory at Madrid.
