TRANSCRIPT
CFRP/GFRP – Position Determination and Quality Inspection
Machine vision solutions from VITRONIC inspect the
surfaces and contours of individual components and
compounds after every relevant production step. This
supports the additional automated handling of materials:
not only do the systems determine the position and
location of cuts, but at the same time they automatically
verify their quality and geometry before further processing.
This ensures the processing of a maximum number of
good parts with the goal of zero-defects in � nished parts.
Fiber and reinforced plastic compounds are � nding their way
into large-scale industrial production. The lightweight but
sturdy � ber-glass and carbon-� ber reinforced plastics GFRP
and CFRP are the materials of the future, especially in the
automotive and aircraft industries. The high demands on
material quality, proper machining, and the need for auto-
mated and thereby more economical production processes
means that machine vision systems are gaining increasing
importance.
VITRONIC GFRP/CFRP inspection
at a glance:
» Automated surface and contour inspection of
CFRP/GFRP cuts and bonded components after
every relevant production step
» 2D/3D position determination and sizing of cuts
for automated handling
» Plausibility inspection of cuts
» Integrated cut inspection as well as quality
inspection of cuts
Reels:
Automated inspection of reels against speci� ed defect cri-
teria before further processing prevents defective material
being used in the further production process.
Cuts:
VITRONIC inspection systems check cuts for web faults
and � ber orientation, which affect the rigidity of the � nished
compound.
CFRP/GFRP contour inspection:
Contour inspection of the cut edges of CFRP/GFRP cuts
and bonded components for possible � ber fringes.
CFRP/GFRP surface inspection: The surface inspection checks the bonded CFRP/GFRP
component for defects such as holes, inclusions, and folds.
Robot vision:
Machine vision solution during automated handling for
determining cut position, checking dimensional accuracy,
and precise positioning.

Integrated 2D/3D position determination and
quality inspection
VITRONIC inspection systems provide an integrated and
automated CFRP/GFRP inspection solution across the
entire production process from reel all the way to the
� nished, bonded component. Cuts are inspected against
all relevant quality features as well as position, location,
and size and are rejected if necessary. Inspection follow-
ing impregnation and bonding ensures the quality of the
component parts.
