<title>"Electro-Optical In-Line Quality Control In Industrial Production".</title>

Abstract

Quality control is a problem in the whole area of industrial production. In-line quality control increases the productivity by enabling greater velocity of the production processes as well as by assuring higher standards of the products. Possibilities of the application of electro-optical systems to in-line quality control are discussed. As an example the in-line inspection of a gasket attached to a water pump is described. Additionaly it is shown how electro-optical systems can support robots to correct parts-position and orientation according to the assembly task.
