Inspection system keeps weld quality high

An Orbitform product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Mar 18, 2008

WTS acts as a constant set of eyes on the welding process, cutting the cost of tip quality management.

Orbitform's Weld Tip System (WTS) inspects spot welding electrodes (tips) and ensures that face diameters and general appearance meet acceptance criteria.

Ensuring weld tip quality is one of the most critical factors in producing high-quality, consistent spot welds.

The system implements CURE technology (Concurrent Universal Recognition Engine memory processing architecture).

WTS cuts downtime and labour costs associated with tip quality management.

WTS acts as a constant set of eyes on the welding process.

The risk of quality issues associated with spot welds, especially for safety components, can be very costly to manufacturers.

The financial and corporate consequences of weld spills create the need for a product like WTS.

Moreover, while it is good practice to use tip dressers and stepper profiles, they offer a false sense of security when the condition of weld tips is not monitored.

For traceability and tip management purposes, WTS can store images of inspected tips.
