Abstract: This article introduces an innovative inspection system designed to check the condition of the welding electrode tip. The system combines 2D laser scanning with advanced analytical algorithms, enabling fast, accurate, and automated inspection. Developed PC software controls the synchronized movement of welding electrodes and the scanner, allowing the creation of 3D point clouds representing the surface of the electrodes. These data are analysed to identify deformations, contamination, and surface imperfections. The inspection results are communicated with the welding control system, contributing to improved weld quality and efficiency in industrial production processes. This innovation has the potential to change how the condition of welding electrodes is monitored in industrial sectors.
