CAMERA-BASED PVC PROFILE WELDING CONTROL SYSTEM

Abstract

The invention relates to a PVC profile welding machine (100) for forming a PVC frame (141) by welding the four corners of PVC profiles (140) cut at a 45° angle. The machine (100) includes four welding units (110) for performing the welding operation on the respective corner areas of the PVC profiles (140). A camera (120) is positioned in relation to each welding unit (110) and takes an image of the relevant welding area (142) after the welding process. At least one control unit (130) evaluates the quality suitability of the welding areas (142) from the images obtained from the cameras (120). If the control unit (130) detects a quality non-conformity in at least one welding area (142), it stops the continuation of the production process; if the welding areas (142) are suitable in terms of quality, it allows the continuation of the production process.
