Adhesive Coating and Surface Gloss Quality Analysis System

Many manufacturing companies face challenges ensuring consistent product quality, as parts can become damaged or improperly prepared during production. To reduce the number of defective components, our team developed a quality analysis system designed to detect and prevent such issues early in the production process.

 

The problem addressed

Before implementing the system, the client’s production lines faced several quality control problems:

• Improper adhesive coating on the internal layers of parquet boards — defects often became visible only in later production stages or after the product had already been processed;
• Manual gloss measurement — a time-consuming and cost-inefficient process;
• Randomized gloss inspections — creating a high risk of undetected defects.

 

Solution to the problem

We developed an optical quality analysis system that ensures parquet boards meet coating and gloss standards. The system combines hardware and software components to evaluate each board’s adhesive coverage and surface gloss in real time.

• Automated measurement and inspection of every board;

• Integration with the client’s quality control system “SmartPeek” for data storage and traceability;

• A user-friendly interface that communicates directly with the production line and can issue stop signals when necessary;
• Real-time visualization of inspection results.

 

Technology:

• High-resolution cameras: Frame or line-scan industrial vision cameras;
• Specialized lighting: Custom illuminators and lasers for optimal image capture;
• Defect detection software: Proprietary algorithms utilizing computer vision and artificial intelligence;
• Non-contact gloss sensors: Industrial-grade sensors for precise surface gloss measurement.

System Performance

Efficiency

Gloss inspection: > 12,000 boards per hour;

Adhesive coating inspection: > 1,500 boards per hour.

 

The solutions’ applicability in the market

This modular solution can be easily adapted across mass production industries. Each installation can be partially customized to meet the specific needs of the manufacturer, ensuring flexibility, scalability, and improved production quality.
