DotMaster™ for Mastic Dot Inspection and Process Control
The Coherix® DotMaster provides a¬¬ robust real-time 3D inspection and process control solution for the mastic dot dispensing process. It reduces process variation, minimizes production down time caused by robot re-programming, improves product quality and increases throughput. DotMaster is a specialized Predator3D sensor that inspects mastic dots and other unique shapes up to 38 mm in diameter. It ensures the dispensed dot is within user defined tolerances by measuring width at the specified height. Mastic dots are critical to assuring anti-flutter between panels, in automotive manufacturing they are used to bond the inner and outer panels of hoods, doors, decklids, etc. Embedded with Coherix proprietary solution software, DotMaster provides in-line, real-time 3D information on mastic dot height and width with no external computer needed. The sensor is not affected by part color or ambient lighting changes, providing robust operation even in “black-on-black” or “gray-on-gray” situations where 2D techniques fail. DotMaster is mounted around the dispensing nozzle and equipped with four high-speed 3D sensors, providing 360° 3D view of mastic dots in any dispensing direction with no added complexity to robot programming.
