StructureExpert Weld facts
- Unique inverted optical system
- Dedicated Software
- Efficient process management
StructureExpert Weld is the only stand-alone dedicated imaging tool designed for efficient and accurate weld bead control. Unique inverted optical system, automatic lighting, focus, and calibration eliminate time-consuming manual processes and measurement errors. Now, the weld inspection processes can be improved, thus saving time, money, and resources.
Save Time
StructureExpert Weld is designed for easy, precise placement of the prepared sample. The unique inverted optical system ensures that the sample surface is always the same distance to the camera, making continuous height adjustments and calibrations unnecessary. One click provides the information required to perform the necessary checks.
Ensure Accuracy
The built-in digital camera and software-controlled magnification adjustment make it easy to find the best field of view. The calibration is loaded automatically with the set magnification – ensuring maximum accuracy and reproducibility. The dedicated internal LED ring light provides bright, uniform illumination for crisp, high image contrast and precise measurements.
Maximum Weld Bead Control
StructureExpert Weld helps boost welding quality. Dedicated weld control software with specific measurement tools ensures that weld bead measurement and analysis processes are performed accurately. Through easy-to-customize report templates and data tracking possibilities, it is possible to speed up the processes and ensure their full traceability.
KEY FEATURES THAT ENSURE FAST MEASUREMENT AND INSPECTION
Maximum weld bead quality is ensured with StructureExpert Weld. StructureExpert Weld is the only stand-alone dedicated imaging tool that provides a simple way to ensure precise and cost-efficient weld bead inspection, measurement, and reporting – all in one solution. Unique design and features enable accuracy, efficiency, and control of after-weld quality assurance processes.
