Description
Spot weld inspection starts here.
Krautkrämer SpotVision from Waygate Technologies, developed in collaboration with automotive manufacturers, is the fastest, easiest and most accurate phased array solution for spot weld inspection. It provides confidence that parts are welded correctly. This increases productivity and ensures product safety and compliance with quality standards at all times
Highlights
- Increase process control
- Avoid false negatives
- Reduce training time
Features
- 2D phase matrix probe
- The membrane is liquid-filled, allowing it to accommodate irregular surfaces and the overall complex geometry of spot welds.
- With Total Focus Method (TFM) image processing, higher resolution and measurement accuracy is achieved with a comparable phased array.
Applications
- Automotive industry
Krautkrämer SpotVision features
An industry first
The solution combines a phased array probe and the Mentor UT phased array flaw detector to obtain complete information at the highest level. One of the most notable features of the newly developed 2D phased array probe is its flexible, liquid-filled delay line. This allows it to adapt to the overall complex geometry of spot welds. The flexible probe also provides optimal acoustic coupling, avoiding false negatives and minimizing process delays.
Better knowledge leads to better results
The 2D array probe is combined with the Total Focus Method (TFM) imaging technique. This achieves higher resolution and measurement accuracy than with a comparable phased array. Thanks to TFM, each element is triggered individually and sequentially while all elements are listening.
Reduced costs through increased confidence
Krautkrämer SpotVision is easy to set up and operate, reducing the need for training of qualified inspection personnel. This is due to the software’s intuitive user interface. In addition, the Mentor PC Live software connects the instrument to a PC via Ethernet, which is especially useful when the operator is in a different location.
