PhasisBLU, for fast, simple use in production – reliable testing without profound ultrasonic knowledge.

PHasisBLU picture

Test automation allows significant savings while ensuring the best possible reproducibility of measurement results. Here, man and robot work hand in hand. Inspection systems from the combination of PHAsisBLU and robotic technology contribute to future-oriented quality assurance as well as detailed documentation of inspection results.


For the precise testing of resistance welded spots of steel and aluminum, we have developed the PHAsis® mobile ultrasonic testing device. It replaces the destructive hammer & chisel specimen. PHAsis® is the first phased array spot weld tester (PAUT) with a physical resolution of the weld line diameter more accurate than 0.35 mm. It is ideal for testing 2- and 3-sheet joints with a single sheet thickness of 0.6 – 5mm. PHAsis® was specially developed for time-saving use in production. In addition to manual testing, it is also suitable for use with robots

Advantages

  • Key Visualization: C/D scans illuminate the weld, providing clarity and precise detail.
  • High Resolution: More than 700 measuring points ensure superior resolution for pinpoint welding lens diameter accuracy.
  • Easy assessment: Automatic image-based suggestions for reliable inspection without the need for ultrasound expertise.
  • Inspection speed: Accelerated inspection thanks to simultaneous scanning of large areas.
  • Versatile Probes: Universal probes eliminate the need to change equipment for different sample types.

Benefits

  • Imaged display: direct visualization of weld beads via C/D scans for simplified quality assessment.
  • High resolution: more than 700 measuring points for precise determination of the welding lens diameter.
  • Automatic assessment: assessment suggestions based on predefined parameters, facilitating inspections without ultrasonic expertise.
  • Fast inspection: Reduced inspection times thanks to simultaneous scanning of a large area.
  • Probe universality: No need to change probes for different samples, simplifying the inspection process.
