Bubble Detector in Polyurethane Applications Based on a Microwave System

This paper discusses a device that detects bubbles in glue depositions on a windshield glass, which may cause water leakages inside the cockpit. This device is inexpensive, more reliable than other existing solutions, and implements a specific signal treatment and a bubble size calculation model. The device is based on microwave radiation system in the X-band and has been developed and implemented in real production in the final assembly area of the automotive industry
