Application selection example
Application route for battery tab, weld and height checks where 2D contrast alone may not prove geometry. This in-house example proposes 3 acceptance checks and 4 RFQ inputs. It does not report completed customer testing or achieved performance.
Best used when 2D contrast cannot prove weld geometry and a measurable height or profile route is required.
Battery tab weld inspection needs geometry confidence, stable position reference and traceability under high station throughput.
Evaluate 3D vision or laser profiling for height and profile checks, with 2D cameras supporting alignment, presence and traceability tasks.

Inspection workflow
The right product family depends on measurable samples, line conditions and acceptance criteria. Use this workflow to move from application idea to testable project evidence.
Example boundary
These routes show how a selection decision is reached and what is checked before acceptance. Numeric values and planning windows are example targets, not achieved results or promised lead times. These are not audited performance figures, not a customer reference list, and not a claim that any particular buyer ran this route.
Not applicable. These routes are illustrative — worked examples of how a selection decision is reached, written in house. No engagement, buyer or site sits behind any of them, so there is no party whose permission could be sought. This is not a record of consent obtained; it is a record that consent has no subject here.
Application visuals are illustrative and are not offered as photographs of a customer installation. Numeric checks and planning windows are example targets, not measured outcomes or promised lead times.

Application FAQ
No. This is an in-house application selection example for battery tab and weld inspection. No customer engagement, buyer or site sits behind it. The component route, sample requirements and numeric acceptance targets are proposals to validate, not achieved results.
Send weld sample photos or video, height tolerance note, cycle-time constraint, output protocol note. Include good and bad samples whenever possible so engineering can test the route before recommending hardware.
3D Vision Cameras, Industrial 2D Cameras, Machine Vision Lighting are the first product families to review, but the final route depends on sample images, speed, tolerance and installation space.
Send part photos or drawings, target defect or measurement goal, field of view, working distance, line speed, accuracy target, lighting limits and any current camera, lens, light, barcode reader or competitor model.
Use 2D when contrast, edges, labels or position are enough to judge the part. Use 3D when height, profile, gap, volume, weld shape or surface geometry decides pass or fail.
Start from the defect and material surface instead of the camera model. Backlight helps edge measurement, coaxial and dome lighting help reflective surfaces, and bar or ring lighting often works for general presence and defect checks.
