An adhesive inspection device inspects an application state of an adhesive that is linearly applied in a triangular cross-sectional shape onto a surface of fixed window glass for an automobile. The adhesive inspection device includes a laser irradiation unit configured to irradiate an adhesive with line laser light from above the adhesive so that a projection line extends over a surface of the adhesive to portions of the glass on both sides of the adhesive, an imaging unit configured to image, from above the adhesive, an imaging region that includes the projection line and is located on the periphery of the adhesive, and output imaging information, and a determination unit configured to determine, based on the imaging information, a shape surrounded by the projection line formed on the surface of the adhesive and a surface of the glass.

Adhesive inspection device and adhesive inspection method

Even when a pasting target body to which prepregs are pasted has a shape changed portion such as a curved portion, prepreg pasting states are accurately inspected. A prepreg pasting state inspection apparatus for inspecting a gap between adjacent prepregs on a pasting target body has a laser for emitting slit light along an inclined plane so that a projected pattern of the slit light is formed across the adjacent prepregs, a camera for imaging an irradiation region of the laser, and a control unit for determining whether the gap between the adjacent prepregs is within an allowance based on a signal from the camera. The apparatus also has a range sensor for measuring a distance between a reference position and the irradiation region, and focus adjusting units for adjusting focus positions of the camera and the laser based on the signal from the range sensor.

Prepreg pasting state inspection apparatus

A fastening part tightening management system () that manages a tightening state of a fastening part such as a screw to fix a constituent part of an aircraft in an aircraft assembling process includes a manual torque wrench () that tightens a fastening part up to a set torque while activating a tightening torque and detects and transmits tightening torque information acting on the fastening part, a marking pen () that performs marking to the fastening part, the tightening operation of which is ended by the manual torque wrench (), detects a writing pressure in the marking, and transmits marking completion information; an information processing device () that determines a tightening state of the fastening part based on the tightening torque information and the marking completion information, and a mobile information terminal () that notifies an operator of a determination result obtained by the information processing device ().
