Krautkramer SpotVision Image-based spot weld inspection with a flexible probe head for deeper insights into the welding process. • Increase process control • Avoid false negatives • Reduce training time QWaygate , _ Technologies a Baker Hughes business

Confidence can be that easy. Faced with ever increasing pressure to reduce downtimes while meeting high quality standards, the automotive industry is turning towards image-based spot weld inspection. Vehicle production is growing, and so is the number of spot welds that need to be inspected. Inspectors therefore need to look deeper into the welding process, beyond a simple good/not good evaluation of spot welds, to elevate production efficiency. Developed in collaboration with automotive manufacturers, Waygate Technologies introduces Krautkrämer SpotVision, the fastest, easiest, and most...

The Krautkrämer SpotVision solution combines a new phased array probe with latest software and the Krautkrämer Mentor UT phased array flaw detector for imaging accuracy at the highest level and comprehensive insights into spot welded joints. One of its most notable features is the newly developed 2D matrix phased array probe. A first in the industry, its membrane is filled with fluid, allowing it to adapt to uneven surfaces and the overall complex geometry of spot welds better than any other probe. The flexible probe head ensures optimal acoustic coupling with the test piece so that the...

Being spot on can be that easy. Simplify inspections & save costs By switching to image-based inspection of spot welds, Krautkrämer SpotVision simplifies the inspection process. It is easy-to-set-up and -use and therefore offers not only a time advantage for seasoned inspectors, but also reduces training requirements for qualified inspection personnel. This is due to the intuitive user interface of the software. It utilizes a database that allows the generation of detailed workflows and inspection plans in advance which can then be applied step-by-step by the operator. With the Mentor PC...

Producing quality parts with high throughput The accurate and repeatable reconstruction of the nugget diameter or the welded area gives an improved insight into the welding process on site and enables better process control. Overall, the image-based evaluation provided by Krautkrämer SpotVision contributes to the quality of the final product. Avoiding false negative results with its flexible probe head design means minimizing process delays such as changeover and calibration times, while ensuring compliance with conformity, safety, and warranty regulations. Krautkrämer SpotVision was...
