Manufacturers, machine builders, and systems integrators use Meta Vision Sensors’ Smart Laser Sensor to improve product quality, reduce production costs, make precise measurements, and guide automation. Meta offers the perfect range of Smart Sensor capabilities that are easy to set up and quick to deploy for your measurement, inspection, or guidance project. SDK’s are available to help streamline implementation right into your application.

Meta can provide complete 3D machine vision systems for hard automation seam tracking applications including one or more laser vision sensors, touch screen operator display, operator pendant, and slides. If you are looking to replace an older laser tracking system or a tactile or touch probe tracking system because of problems using those systems, OSTrack is the perfect system for you. If your needs are more challenging requiring multiple sensors, multiple joint types, complex multi-pass applications, or fully integrated into your network along with multiple PC’s and PLC’s, Meta’s VisionWeld is the system you should consider. Please contact us for more detailed information on both of these system solutions.
A joint feature might be an edge, the middle of the gap of a butt joint, or the intersection point where two plates meet for a fillet or T-joint. As the sensor moves over the joint, corrections are sent to the motorized slides as soon as the joint feature moves from its taught position. As the sensor is typically mounted a short distance ahead of the torch, a time delay is added to the corrections to make sure the welding torch stays in the corrected position for proper welding. If material surface conditions change while welding, automatic laser intensity (AGC) control quickly changes sensor settings to properly handle such challenges without operator intervention.
To perform an inspection, the Smart Sensor may be held by a robot, secured in place on a fixture, or mounted right behind the welding torch. If a complete inspection system is needed, Meta will build on its popular VisionWeld platform to configure a comprehensive solution for inline weld inspection as well as for off-line inspection. Systems can be set up to display and store actual measurements along with a “pass / fail” on select measurements and operator displays might include real time measurement values, strip charts of certain measurements, and alarms. Please contact us for more detailed technical information on VisionWeld for Inspection configurations.
Meta’s Smart Laser Pilot is a complete system that allows you to easily add a Smart Sensor to most of today’s modern welding robots using an Ethernet connection. The benefits to adding a Smart Laser Pilot to your welding robot include savings in tooling and fixturing, and reductions in welding defects, rework, and scrap. Robot teach time may also be reduced as the Smart Sensor can autonomously guide the robot along a complicated path without needing to add new teach points along the way. Please contact us today for more detailed technical information about a Smart Laser Pilot for your robot.
Adding a Smart Sensor to a welding manipulator, machine, or gantry will allow you to weld imperfect parts perfectly, faster, and help lower your costs by reducing scrap and rework. A laser seam tracking system will make your machine more productive and you make more money. In addition, certain real time measurements from the Smart Sensor can adaptively drive changes to the welding process. For example, a changing joint gap or volume measurement may then be used to drive changes to travel speed, wire feed speed or other process variables based on data coming from the Smart Sensor.
The Smart Sensor is mounted a short distance ahead of the welding torch on the robot end effector. Before welding, the 3D profile sensor will search for the joint. Once the joint is found, the Smart Sensor quickly compares the actual position of the joint with a taught position. If there is a difference between the actual position of the joint and the position the robot was taught, that difference in position is used as an offset to start welding. This ensures that welding begins where the actual part is and not necessarily where the robot was taught the part would be.
