Resistance Spot Weld Evaluation
Used on automotive panels and sheet assemblies to check nugget diameter, penetration, indentation and electrode alignment.
Product Software
Check weld penetration and critical geometry on a calibrated section image. Keep the measurement, marked image and approved result together in the report.

Start with a calibrated weld-section image. Measure the required geometry, mark the inspection points and place the approved results in a clear report.
Set up repeatable checks for routine production parts, new weld procedures and supplier samples.
Use suitable new equipment or retain a compatible microscope and camera already working in the laboratory.
Apply the same calibrated measurement method during process development, supplier approval and routine production checks.

Used on automotive panels and sheet assemblies to check nugget diameter, penetration, indentation and electrode alignment.

Check throat, leg length, penetration, reinforcement, root profile and fusion during procedure approval or routine fabrication inspection.

Inspect brackets, cross-members and load-bearing joints where weld geometry and fusion affect chassis strength and production release.

Examine gap filling, wetting, joint continuity, porosity and the interface between the braze and parent material.

Check penetration, porosity, oxide-related defects, fusion and HAZ condition in lightweight structures and aluminium assemblies.

Inspect welded stamped parts for cracking, local thinning, deformation and joint integrity after forming.

Review multi-pass welds and thick sections for penetration profile, pass placement, fusion and HAZ condition.

Compare trial sections when setting welding parameters, approving a joint or checking the effect of a process change.

Record critical weld dimensions for batch release, supplier checks and repeatability studies on the production line.
