7 PROline PLUS INSPECTION SOLUTIONS 9 ULTRASONIC INSPECTION SOFTWARE for the PROline ultrasonic inspection system family PROline PLUS is an extreme user-friendly inspection software for the imaging display and evaluation of ultrasonic inspection data for PROline inspection systems. Thanks to the user-friendly software layout, just a minor training effort and a short-term period of familiarization is needed to enable safe handling with the system. In connection with PROline PLUS the PROline USB ultrasonic inspection device is a flexible, PC supported inspection system with Windows interface for the mechanized and automated ultrasonic inspection in production as well as stand-alone solution for applications in the laboratory. MODULAR SOFTWARE DESIGN adapted to your needs PROline PLUS comprises the following areas: device driver software instrument sofware inspection plan administration system configuration inspection data display inspection data evaluation control interface (SPS) barcode reader (DMC) networking interface, e.g. SCADA and more The device driver software forms the basis for the inspection software PROline PLUS. When using this software the user is able to access the ultrasonic raw data and process it with his own software. The instrument software serves the display of the ultrasonic signals and parameters for all connected UT-services. The inspection plan administration is the central place for setting all relevant inspection system parameters. The system configuration hardware components (inspection channels, motors or controls etc.) are assigned to inspection applications in form of inspection stations. The inspection data representation is a software module that realizes the online representation of the inspection results as image. The inspection data evaluation is performed inline and/or offline. In general all inspection data can be evaluated manually or automatically. For this purpose the PROline PLUS software stores the inspection data in a free readable und general valid data format. 10 (1) Inspection data evaluation: (2) (1) A-scan absolute (2) line scan and (3) raster scan display (3)

10 INLINE SPOT WELD INSPECTION SYSTEM INLINE ULTRASONIC SPOT WELD INSPECTION SYSTEM The SPOTline ultrasonic inspection system controls the spot weld quality during the production process. Therefore ultrasonic sensors are directly integrated into the welding tong. The SPOTline server supports the ultrasonic client for self regulation, the parameterisation as well as the determination of the evaluation criteria. The test results may be transmitted by means of an information software for instance to the plant controller, the welding departments and the administrators. The ultrasonic signals are transmitted to a SPOTline ultrasonic client. With an intelligent, self-learning evaluation software, the client evaluates the spot weld quality within the welding process. It communicates with the welding control, the robotic control and a server for data evaluation The ultrasonic signals are received with an impulse repetition reduction of personnel costs rate of 500 Hz, i.e. an ultrasonic measuring is carried out reduction of production costs by reducing rejects 16 every 2 ms for the total welding time. The welding start and reduction of the product liability risk stop are registered by means of an optional sensor if the VDA/ISO 9000 documentation welding control is not able to supply this information with the required precision. The spot weld quality result is memorized in the SPOTline server on a SQL data base with reference to the relevant tong, module, date and time. Advantages 100% control of all critical spot welds Zero-fault concept fast reaction due to the non-destructive inspection within the production process

11 PHASED ARRAY SPOT WELD INSPECTION SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION SOFTWARE PHAsis manager TCP or local UTILITY PROGRAM TCP MANUAL INSPECTION DEVICES PHAsis one with inspection and evaluation software PHAsis manager TCP or local MS SQL Express with data base PHAsis one ultrasonic inspection device with live D-Scan Distributed complete system with various manual inspection systems PHAsis one - PHASED ARRAY SPOTWELD INSPECTION SYSTEM 17 PHAsis one is a phased array spot weld inspection device designed for the fast and accurate inspection of resistance welded spots of steel- and aluminium sheets. 121 ultrasonic elements and a 11 x 11 matrix grant for a physical resolution more precise than 0.35 mm for the inspection of the spot weld diameter. More than 700 measuring points are recorded per spot weld. The inspection time is just a few seconds per spot. PHAsis one provides data on the diameter of the welding spot, the remaining wall thickness of the welded area as well as the sound attenuation caused by structural transformation as possible evaluation criteria for zinc adhesion. The compact and robust housing and its low weight of 3.5 kg make PHAsis one the ideal equipment for mobile operation. The PHAsis device inspection and evaluation software on the device is specifically designed by VOGT Ultrasonics for quick use during production. The intuitive operation guarantees a minimum need of training. The software of the device supports the customer with a live D-Scan and amplitude-based alignment points for the optimum focussing of the probe on the spot weld to be inspected. The imaging display of the phased array technology ensures the safe evaluation of the inspection results. The created display of the spot weld with coloured depth imaging of the welded areas shows defects in the welding. By freezing the D-scan PHAsis one automatically provides an evaluation proposal. 18 All data is organized by means of the PHAsis manager administration software and synchronized with the PHAsis one ultrasonic inspection device. If needed the system communicates with the customer s data base by individually adapted interfaces. The data and user administration as well as the creation of various inspection plans are clearly designed for easy and fast editing. Inspection result of the spot weld quality
