RSWA F2Ultrasonic Spot Weld & Adhesive Bond Inspection System
The RSWA F2 is a portable ultrasonic inspection platform for non-destructive quality evaluation of resistance spot welds and adhesive bonds. Using multi-channel matrix-array transducers, it provides real-time ultrasonic imaging and evaluation of weld nugget size and adhesive coverage from one-side access.
Designed for inspection of steel and aluminum sheet assemblies, including bare, coated and painted materials, the RSWA F2 is particularly suitable for automotive and aerospace quality control.
Description
The F2 Platform, developed and manufactured by Tessonics, is a portable ultrasonic inspection system for non-destructive quality control of resistance spot welds and adhesive bonds. The system uses multi-channel ultrasonic matrix-array technology to produce real-time acoustic images of internal joint structures and supports two dedicated inspection modes: RSWA (Resistance Spot Weld Analyzer) and ABIS (Adhesive Bond Inspection System).
The two modes are optimized for different inspection tasks and provide dedicated visualization, evaluation and data-processing tools for their respective applications. The F2 Platform combines guided inspection workflows, data storage, reporting and centralized inspection data management in a single portable system.
RSWA Mode — Resistance Spot Weld Inspection
The RSWA mode is designed for non-destructive inspection and quality assessment of resistance spot welds in steel and aluminum assemblies, including bare, coated and painted materials. It is suitable for production and quality-control applications requiring fast and consistent inspection of spot-welded joints.
The technology is widely used in automotive manufacturing and can also be applied in other industries using resistance spot welding.
ABIS Mode — Adhesive Bond Inspection
The ABIS mode is designed for non-destructive inspection of adhesive bonds and adhesive beads. It enables the operator to visualize adhesive coverage and identify areas where the adhesive layer is missing, insufficient or otherwise inconsistent.
The method is suitable for inspection of bonded structures in automotive and other manufacturing applications where adhesive bonding is used as part of the joining process.
