Tessonics RSWA F2

Ultrasonic Quality Inspection Platform

F2 is an ultrasonic device designed for NDE and quality control for various applications, including resistance spot welds, and adhesive joints. Using the unique technology of multi-channel ultrasonic matrix arrays, this portable and simple-in-operation device is capable of producing internal ultrasonic C-scan images of defects and structures.

Our algorithms evaluate the quality determining features that can be compared to predefined specifications. To further improve the operator’s experience, our software assists in making decisions in automatic or semi-automatic mode, guides through the inspection routines with easy to understand graphics, stores the record of the inspected parts and integrates into a larger infrastructure with centralized inspection planning and reporting.

Features

The F2 Platform is configurable as:

    • RSWA
      • Resistance spot weld analyzer
    • ABIS
      • Adhesive bond inspection system

The built-in electronics supports:

  • Probes with built in identification system
  • Unrestricted matrix element counts
  • Replaceable probe cables
  • Single-frame and continuous live data acquisition modes

Tessonics RIWA

In the new Industry 4.0 environment, RIWA is the Tessonics’ answer for the challenging demands of the new smart factories.

The system provides a solution to evaluate resistance spot welds in real-time, using an advanced non-destructive ultrasonic system. A custom built system consisting of a high frequency ultrasonic transducer that is integrated into the welding electrode, which generates ultrasonic waves that pass through the electrode cap into the welded plates. The key feature of the technology is that inspection of the weld is conducted during the real time monitoring of the welding process.

A specialized software, leveraged by the latest advancements in modern processing using AI, is capable of performing full analysis of the weld, reporting the presence of the weld nugget and its location with respect to the plate surface. A fully customizable trigger sensor can be placed to meet quality and process requirements.

RIWA is self-aware, and has the ability to monitor the welding process continuously, becoming a powerful tool in the process management system. The system is shop floor proven, with the expertise of over 20,000 different welding joints behaviours meticulously analysed prior to the build of the detection system.

Features
