Measurements 1. Concavity - maximum depth
of the weld relative to a line projected between the two edges of the weld.
2.
Convexity - maximum height of the weld relative to a line projected between
the two edges of the weld.
3.
Mismatch - height difference of the projected parent surfaces at the weld
center.
4.
Peaking - angle difference of the projected parent surfaces at the weld
center.
5.
Undercut - depth of any undercut at the edge of the weld relative to the
adjacent plate.
Industry Examples 1. Space - verification
of parameters within specifications.
2. Wheel Manufacturers -
quality inspection.
3. Pressure Vessels - measurement
of weld parameters.
4. Shipbuilding - inspection
during assembly.
Sensors
and Controllers Sensor selection will be
dependent on the size of the weld and the resolution required. Any
of the sensors and controllers could be used for the application.
The HS300 sensor with wheeled stand-off's is ideally suited for taking
scans of a weld on a long, flat surface.
