RSWA F2

Description

RSWA F2 – Ultrasonic quality inspection platform

RSWA F2 is an ultrasonic device designed for non-destructive evaluation and quality inspection for various applications, such as spot welds and adhesive joints testing. RSWA F2 is a result of the systematic advanced development of the field-proven and successful RSWA F1 from Tessonics. F2 device is 50% lighter and thinner and provides unique ease of use due to the high-resolution 10.1″ display and the possibility for wireless connection to new Tessonics Data Service.
The Tessonics Data Service (TDS) is a data management software that provides the possibility to manage all connected RSWA F2 instruments and to keep software revisions up-to-date. Additionally, measurement data can be made available – almost in real-time – to any user within a network and appropriate authorization. For this, no additional software is required, the user can directly access data with every internet capable device.

Together with the RSWA F2, a new and unique transducer technology is introduced. While for comparable instruments on the market the complete transducer has to be exchanged in case of a defect cable, cables can be replaced on RSWA F2 transducers separately which reduces maintenance costs significantly.

The unique technology of multi-channel matrix arrays allows the portable and ease to use device to produce internal ultrasonic C-scan images of defects and structures. Tessonics algorithms evaluate the quality determining features that can be compared to predefined specifications. To further improve the operator’s experience, the software assists in making decisions in automatic or semi-automatic mode, guides through the inspection routines with intuitive graphics, saves the record of the inspected parts and integrates into a large infrastructure with centralized inspection planning and reporting.

Applications

RSWA-Mode: 2T and 3T (2 & 3 plates) stack
ABIS-Mode: glued stacks
Steel and Aluminum
0.6 – 2.4 mm plate thickness

ABIS

The Adhesive Bond Inspection System (ABIS) was developed by Tessonics Inc. for NDT of adhesive joints in automotive and aerospace assemblies. This system employs a matrix array of small flat ultrasonic transducers for evaluation of the adhesive joint. The reverberating waveforms recorded by the array elements are processed to obtain an informative parameter, whose two-dimensional distribution is presented as a C-scan. The C-scans show the lateral location of “adhesive/no-adhesive” regions in the joint.

Features

One side access
Two dimensional 10 mm x 10 mm acoustic image of the adhesive coverage
Automatic determination of the width of the adhesive bead
Real time A–scan and C –scan display
Lateral resolution – 1 mm

Applications

Metal: steel and aluminum 0.7 – 2.0 mm thickness; coated, painted and bare

Adhesive: 0.1 – 1 mm thickness; structural and sealant; pre-cured and cured

Features

The F2 platform is configurable as:

Resistance Spot Weld Analyzer (RSWA)
Adhesive Bonding Inspection System (ABIS)

The built-in electronics supports:

transducers with built-in identification system
unrestricted matrix element count
single-frame and continuous data acquisition modes

New transducer technology:

standard 52-element transducer
new 120-element with 15 mm diameter coverage
unique technology to replace transducer cables in case of damage
