SEALANT AUTOMATION HAS BEEN EVOLVING SINCE THE FIRST INSTALLATIONS WERE COMMISSIONED IN THE EARLY 1980S. THE EXPERIENCE GAINED IN THESE EARLY SYSTEMS AND MARKET PRESSURES FOR COST AND PRODUCTION EFFICIENCIES, HAVE PROVIDED THE CATALYST FOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE INTEGRATED IN TODAY'S SEALING SYSTEMS. SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCE HAS SHOWN HOW TO QUALIFY ROBOTIC PROCESSING. SELECTING THE TYPES OF SEAMS TO BE SEALED ALONG WITH MORE EFFICIENT APPLICATION METHODS ARE PROVIDING SYSTEM SUPPLIERS WITH THE MEANS TO MEET USER EXPECTATIONS IN QUALITY, RELIABILITY, AND OVERALL COST. THIS PAPER DESCRIBES THESE IMPROVEMENTS ALONG WITH THE USE OF 3-D VISION FOR BODY AND SEAM LOCATION.
