BEAD APPEARANCE INSPECTION DEVICE AND BEAD APPEARANCE INSPECTION SYSTEM

To increase efficiency of a setting operation by a user in bead appearance inspection of a workpiece manufactured by final welding.SOLUTION: A bead appearance inspection device includes: an acquisition part for acquiring input data concerning a weld bead; a first determination part for storing a first determination reference used in inspection of defects of the weld bead, and executing first inspection determination for the weld bead; k pieces (k: integer of 1 or larger) of second determination parts for storing a second determination reference used in inspection of defects of the weld bead, and executing second inspection determination for the weld bead; and an overall determination part for determining whether or not the weld bead has defects. The first determination part outputs a first determination result whether or not a first inspection result satisfies a first determination reference to the overall determination result, k pieces of the second determination parts output a second determination result whether or not a second inspection result satisfies a second determination reference to the overall determination part, and the overall determination part creates an appearance inspection result of the weld bead based on the first determination result and the second determination result, and outputs the appearance inspection result.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】本溶接により生産されたワークのビード外観検査に関してユーザによる設定操作をより効率化できる。【解決手段】ビード外観検査装置は、溶接ビードに関する入力データを取得する取得部と、溶接ビードの不良の検査に用いる第１判定基準を記憶し、溶接ビードに対する第１検査判定を実行する第１判定部と、溶接ビードの不良の検査に用いる第２判定基準を記憶し、溶接ビードに対する第２検査判定を実行するｋ（ｋ：１以上の整数）個の第２判定部と、溶接ビードが不良を有するか否かを判定する総合判定部と、を備え、第１判定部は、第１検査結果が第１判定基準を満たすか否かの第１判定結果を総合判定部に出力し、ｋ個の第２判定部は、第２検査結果が第２判定基準を満たすか否かの第２判定結果を総合判定部に出力し、総合判定部は、第１判定結果および第２判定結果に基づく溶接ビードの外観検査結果を作成して出力する。【選択図】図５
