Coherix 3D Inline Urethane Inspection
Eliminate leaks. Reduce scrap. Control every bead.
Coherix 3D GlassMaster Tracker™ delivers real-time 3D inspection and adaptive process control for high-profile urethane bead dispensing in automotive glass and battery sealing applications. By measuring bead height, width, volume and location, Tracker ensures consistent, high-quality seals, every part, every cycle. Coherix 3D GlassMaster Tracker provides part traceability to ensure safety for these critical bonds in battery and automotive glass applications.
With advanced edge tracking and real-time robot guidance, the system dynamically adjusts bead placement to compensate for part variation, eliminating manual rework and improving first-pass yield.
Built with upgraded Adaptive Process Control software, GlassMaster Tracker operates reliably in challenging environments, even when bead and part surface are the same color, in a fully integrated, self-contained system.
Drive quality. Maximize uptime. Optimize your dispensing process.

Once and done
Single-pass 3D bead profile inspection is accomplished using high-speed laser sensors leading and trailing the dispensing nozzle to track and inspect the bead with no blind corners. Acquiring and processing 400 samples per second, Coherix 3D GlassMaster Tracker has industry-leading acquisition speed avoiding production slow-downs.
Proven
Coherix 3D GlassMaster Tracker leverages a 3D high-speed imaging and processing platform that has proven reliability, inspecting millions of customer parts to date. In addition, Coherix 3D technology has been widely deployed for bead inspection for numerous applications including powertrain RTV, body shop structural adhesive and sealants, final assembly urethane glass, battery thermal paste, and more with OEM and Tier suppliers globally.
Easy to integrate
Coherix 3D GlassMaster Tracker mounts around the dispensing nozzle. It communicates easily with whatever protocol your dispenser or robot uses. Coherix 3D Inline Urethane Inspection does not add complexity to robot programming. There are no time-consuming setup changes required for robot speed changes commonly necessary on other systems.
Rugged
The Coherix 3D GlassMaster Tracker sensor is built with a solid aluminum frame to withstand impacts and IP67 sealed housing that protects the unit in a production environment. There are no moving parts and Coherix 3D GlassMaster is the online system that stays online.
