Elpo Coat Inspection
Accurate detection of coating defects after the e-coat process
Our machine vision system for ELPO inspection automatically checks the electrodeposited coating (e-coat), ensuring the protective layer is applied uniformly and free from structural defects. Designed for continuous in-line inspection, it enhances corrosion protection and prevents costly downstream rework.
Key features of the ELPO System:
- Detection of uncoated or bubbled areas after the e-coat bath.
- Inspection of hidden areas, edges, and complex geometries.
- Seamless integration into the production line.
- Preventive quality control at early stages.
- Full traceability for each car body.
Benefits of implementing the ELPO inspection system
The electrodeposition (ELPO) stage is crucial to ensure long-term corrosion resistance in vehicle manufacturing. By implementing our automated inspection system, manufacturers can identify structural coating defects early, reduce rejection rates, and guarantee product durability in compliance with the automotive industry’s highest standards. Successfully implemented in Renault Group production lines, ensuring continuous, reliable inspection under demanding industrial conditions.
Applied technology:
Machine vision
for E-Coat inspection
Using high-precision machine vision, our ELPO system provides 100% automatic inspection of the cathodic dip coating (e-coat) process.
This technology detects defects on wet, opaque, or complex-shaped surfaces, ensuring reliable results even in harsh industrial environments — with full control of the process and no line stoppage.
Includes:
- Optimized illumination for wet and opaque surfaces
- Deep learning algorithms trained for e-coat defects
- Reliable inspection under industrial conditions
- User-friendly interface with automatic reporting
