Adhesives. They are available in every color, consistence and intensity. Adhesives are indispensable in any industry these days. They are used everywhere for everything. The most diverse materials can be joined together with adhesives. The addition of liquids as binders assembles the various elements without creating weld seams, drilling holes, using screws or other ancillary material. This argument is a major advantage for lightweight construction.
The different adhesives must adhere to various surface structures. In addition, the binder is often exposed to high temperature variations, which it must withstand. Each of the substances should meet all the requirements concerning quality standard and safety. In order to reach this demand, it requires explicit checking and testing of the adhesives during the individual production processes. The adhesive substances or liquids should be checked regularly for adhesion, consistency, degree of hardness and mixing ratio.
Unlike common samples, which are costly and time-consuming, LuxFlux offers a suitable alternative. We rely on hyperspectral technologies that enable complete, fast and non-contact measurement in the process. This method detects and identifies the most diverse material properties. The substances can be checked and measured without any physical contact in real-time. Due to the optical measuring method, there is no danger in the checking process. The quality of the objects to be examined is protected. The non-contact measuring process protects the goods from damage.
Process analysis means the analysis of procedures and processes, for example, to identify existing defects or weaknesses in the product line. Following this, the production process can be optimized. Our software supports the work process by analyzing the goods in realtime, classifying them by properties, and providing information (for example, good or bad) via a protocol.
Our technology can quickly and effectively identify and measure a wide range of deviations, foreign substances and other contaminants, up to “material deficiencies”.
This method enables more efficient work in many industrial sectors. By optimizing the analysis procedure, a particularly high quality standard is ensured.
The two pictures show the same details. The first image shows the original photography (RGB camera) of unmixed adhesive (two components). The same substances are also shown on the second picture. It is a false-color coded image. The different liquids are depicted with pseudocolors for a better identification. The material properties or material differences that appear in the hyperspectral analysis are visualized on the right. This picture shows the ability of the software to assign the objects into specific groups. With this method the different substances can be identified and classified in a fast way.
