Abstract
Apparatus and methods for curing adhesives in a robotic assembly cell and evaluating the curing at a same time or in parallel are disclosed. An apparatus in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure comprises a radiation source configured to emit radiation to cure an adhesive in a curing area during an assembly process, a radiation guide configured to transmit the radiation emitted from the radiation source to the curing area, and a sensor configured to measure a reflection of the transmitted radiation reflected off the curing area during the curing of the adhesive, wherein the sensor is positioned proximate to the radiation guide; and a controller configured to determine whether the measured reflection satisfies a threshold and, based on a determination that the measured reflection does not satisfy the threshold, to signal a remedial action of the assembly process.
