Advance ™ Inspection Machine for Surface Defects of Automotive Bellows

Automotive bellows are flexible, accordion-like components used in the automotive industry for various applications. They are typically made of rubber or elastomeric materials and feature a series of convoluted folds that allow for expansion and contraction. The primary purpose of automotive bellows is to provide protection and sealing in areas where there is relative motion between different parts, such as in steering systems, exhaust systems, and suspension components.

However, during the production of automotive bellows, surface defects can arise, posing challenges and quality issues. Some common surface defects include:

1. Air Traps: Air pockets or bubbles trapped between the layers of the bellows material. These defects can weaken the structure and compromise the sealing properties of the bellows.

2. Delamination: Separation or peeling of layers within the bellows material, leading to reduced strength and potential failure.

3. Surface Imperfections: Irregularities such as roughness, scratches, or uneven texture on the surface of the bellows, which can affect aesthetics and functionality.

4. Folds or Wrinkles: Improper folding or excessive wrinkling of the bellows, which can impact its ability to expand and contract smoothly.
