The present work discussed the development of a novel thermal detection system for evaluating the protection attributes for production of automotive containers. This development indicates the potential of thermal machine vision systems in several industrial applications. It is introduced a self-adjusting robotic painting process for automotive fuel containers, capable of predicting the required correction action to avoid further defect production. It is presented the development, testing and on-site implementation of a robotic thermal machine vision system designed for evaluating coat thickness and coverage attributes. Computer simulation is used to study the effect of the painting robot's program on the film build-up. It is presented an effective technique for the real-time detection of anti-corrosive coat's pinholes and pop-ups. A systematic study for this paint deposition scheme. The presented detection system and the simulation program methodology could be further studied and modified for other painting applications. It provides insights validated with on-site results and systematic study for the automated or the manual adjustments of the robotic painting parameters. It is introduced a novel application of thermal imaging for evaluating coated surfaces. In addition, a first reported case study of automotive fuel container's painting process. Presents potential application to reduce the defects generation thus, improving quality, and reducing production cost.
