IUNA Weld Seam Scanner
Fully automatic visual inspection of weld seams
AI-based weld seam inspection
Our standard system, consisting of one or more industrial cameras, an industrial PC and the IUNA AI software, can be individually adapted to your requirements and impresses with its simple integration into your production process. Our system is ideal for inspecting both manually and automatically welded seams.
With the IUNA Weld Seam Scanner, you benefit from an efficient, reliable and user-friendly solution that takes your quality control to the next level. Whether you need precise inspection of your weld seams or want comprehensive documentation of the results, our system adapts seamlessly to your production environment and offers you the flexibility and accuracy you need.
Our system supports the visual inspection of weld seams in accordance with international standards ISO 5817 (for steel, stainless steel, titanium, and nickel) and ISO 10042 (for aluminum). This ensures an objective and repeatable assessment that meets the highest industry quality requirements.
We support the inspection of all common welding processes, including MIG and MAG welding.
Weld Testing
With the IUNA Weld Seam Scanner you can automate various testing and inspection steps:
- Is the weld seam there?
- Is the weld seam within the predefined tolerance range?
- Automatic detection of irregularities in the weld seam
- Automatic detection of cracks, pores, open end crater blowholes, burn-through, spatter, excessive asymmetry in the fillet and other defects that can be expected in normal production
Precise AI Analysis
Our AI-powered system precisely analyzes each weld seam, identifying the tolerance range and performing detailed segmentation. The IUNA Weld Seam Scanner can detect even the smallest defects that might be invisible to the human eye.
The system automatically determines whether a weld seam is within the acceptable tolerance range and highlights any areas that require attention. This ensures consistent quality control and reduces the risk of defective parts reaching the next production stage.
- Precise tolerance measurement
- Advanced segmentation algorithms
- Real-time defect detection
Advantages of automated visual weld seam inspection
Cost-Effective Solution
The IUNA Weld Seam Scanner is particularly user-friendly and efficient, as it only requires a high-resolution industrial camera for inspection and not an expensive 3D laser sensor. This makes our system significantly more cost-effective compared to laser-based inspection systems.
Superior Detection Capabilities
Our system offers outstanding performance for weld seams with very low heights. Thanks to the high-resolution industrial camera, the IUNA Weld Seam Scanner can detect fine details and small irregularities where laser-based systems often reach their limits.
Consistent Quality Control
Automated inspection eliminates human error and ensures consistent, objective evaluation of weld seams, increasing product quality and safety. This is particularly important in safety-critical sectors such as the automotive and aerospace industries.
Seamless Integration
Integration into existing production lines is straightforward, increasing overall production efficiency. The IUNA Weld Seam Scanner offers a reliable, economical and user-friendly solution for modern quality control requirements.

The four steps to autonomous inspection
Our proven implementation process ensures a smooth integration of the IUNA Weld Seam Scanner into your production
Evaluation of Use Case
Contact us. Together, we will check your use case and the implementation options. After that we will select the required hardware components.
System installation
We integrate the camera, light module and AI box into your production process and install our AI vision software.
Labeling
The first image data is used to teach the AI inspection software. Even a small amount of images is sufficient for this.
Autonomous inspection
From now on, the IUNA Weld Seam Scanner takes over your inspection fully automatically. With the help of the statistics function, you get full transparency about your quality level.
