The BMW Group uses weld seam
inspection systems from VITRONIC
on many of its models. These systems
use fully automatic monitoring to
ensure that the required quality
standards for welded seams are met.

The BMW Group produces models
including the 5 Series saloon at its
plant in Dingolfing, Germany. The
welded seams on the rear part of the
steel body have been inspected
optically using the VIROwsi weld
seam inspection system since 2010.

All inspection results are documented
for future tracing. In addition,
deviations in the welding processes
can be detected and eliminated early,
without having a negative impact on
throughput, quality or production.

An automatic, optical inspection
system always works objectively
based on individual criteria.
