13th EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING
LISBON – PORTUGAL, 3 – 7 JULY 2023
Tecnitest booth #37 Hall 2. Visit our SpotWeld Demo
An inspection system, based on the ultrasonic propagation, is described.
The main challenges faced are presented, such as the location of the spot weld, using artificial vision, the definition and positioning of the probes until a reliable signal, and the final analysis through a development based on artificial intelligence.
The system that has been presented was developed by Tecnitest, and validated with real samples in a production plant in which all types of defects were analysed.
The first results showed an in-line detection capacity of 85%. When it was only needed to discriminate between OK/not OK, the probability of detection was close to 100%.

Tecnitest presents a synchronism system that has been designed to facilitate the generation of ultrasonic images of pieces with complex geometry using industrial robots.
Automatic ultrasonic inspection of complex parts remains one of the most difficult challenges according to the specific and increasingly exigent demands of the markets. The closed configuration of these complex robotic arms makes it difficult to maintain adequate synchronism between the movement of the robot and the acquisition of the data, making it difficult to generate ultrasonic images consistent with the geometry of the part. This is a fundamental problem in the inspection of aerospace components where high quality is necessary to assess the condition of the inspected component.
Synchronism system for generating ultrasonic images of complex geometry pieces using industrial robots
From 3 to -7 of July 2023
ECNDT 2023 conference
This paper presents a synchronism system that has been designed to facilitate the generation of ultrasonic images of pieces with complex geometry using industrial robots. Modern robotic manipulators and, more specifically, industrial robotic arms integrated with server computers, sensors and actuators have revolutionized the way automated non-destructive testing is performed.
Currently there are commercial industrial robots that have the precision, speed and repetitiveness in their movements that make them suitable for use in numerous non-destructive testing inspections whose designs are carried out by small and medium sized specialized companies. Automatic ultrasonic inspection of complex parts remains one of the most difficult challenges according to the specific and increasingly exigent demands of the markets.
The closed configuration of these complex robotic arms makes it difficult to maintain adequate synchronism between the movement of the robot and the acquisition of the data, making it difficult to generate ultrasonic images consistent with the geometry of the part. This is a fundamental problem in the inspection of aerospace components where high quality is necessary to assess the condition of the inspected component.
In this paper, we present an autonomous independent external system that provides control signals to synchronize the ultrasound system with the robot trajectories without needing to access its position in real time. A methodology to obtain the timing pattern for a given part inspected with a given robotic system will also be presented here.
Ultrasonic Spot Weld inspection system based on Industrial Robotic, Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Vision
From 3 to -7 of July 2023
ECNDT 2023 conference
Nowadays, spot welding is still one of the most frequently used techniques for bonding metal plates, for example, in an automotive chassis between 3000 and 4000 spot welds can be found. Using this technique is possible to obtain at a low cost, easily automated and versatile welds with high quality and speed of operation but, the inspection and quality control process needs to be improved so that it is possible to reach automatic systems that allow maximizing the speed of inspection and guarantee, in turn, the repeatability and accuracy of the results, eliminating deviations introduced by
the operator. In this paper an inspection system, based on the ultrasonic propagation, is described.
The main challenges faced are presented, such as the location of the spot weld, using artificial vision, the definition and positioning of the probes until a reliable signal, and the final analysis through a development based on artificial intelligence.
The results achieved in real parts, have shown that this robotic system, has a better defect detection capacity than the systems currently on the market, and is applicable to the inspection on assembly lines, optimizing not only the inspection times but also improving the results and therefore the quality of the process.
Generation of High-Quality Ultrasonic Images of Complex Geometry Pieces Using Industrial Robots
1 March 2023
Abstract:
Industrial robotic arms integrated with server computers, sensors and actuators have revolutionized the way automated non-destructive testing is performed in the aeronautical sector. Currently, there are commercial, industrial robots that have the precision, speed and repetitiveness in their movements that make them suitable for use in numerous non-destructive testing inspections. Automatic ultrasonic inspection of complex geometry parts remains one of the most difficult challenges in the market.
The closed configuration, i.e., restricted access to internal motion parameters, of these robotic arms makes it difficult for an adequate synchronism between the movement of the robot and the acquisition of the data.
This is a severe problem in the inspection of aerospace components, where high-quality images are necessary to assess the condition of the inspected component. In this paper, we applied a methodology recently patented for the generation of high-quality ultrasonic images of complex geometry pieces using industrial robots.
The methodology is based on the calculation of a synchronism map after a calibration experiment and to introduce this corrected map in an autonomous, independent external system developed by the authors to obtain precise ultrasonic images. Therefore, it has been shown that it is possible to establish the synchronization of any industrial robot with any ultrasonic imaging generation system to generate high-quality ultrasonic images.

This project has been subsidized by the CDTI, with the support of the Ministry of Science and Innovation, with file number PTAP-20211001 through the call for the year 2021 of the procedure for granting aid for Strategic Sectoral Initiatives for Business Innovation ( “Aeronautical Technological Program“), within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (financed by Next Generation EU funds, including the Recovery and Resilience Mechanism) and the State Business Leadership Program in R+D+i, of the State Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation 2017-2020
NEW ULTRASONIC INSPECTION SYSTEM FOR THE CERN
The system has been tailored to the customer’s needs to allow quality verification of construction elements used by CERN, with state-of-the-art materials, and with a range of varied sizes and geometries.
Mr. Arnau, Project leader at CERN for the procurement and installation of the system delivered by Tecnitest Ingenieros S.L. commented:
“I would undoubtedly highlight the capacity of Tecnitest Ingenieros S.L. to capture all the requirements that we have asked for and their acceptance to modify the development according to the suggestions that we made, which has resulted in a very flexible and functionally very complete system, which allows us to tackle the work of manufacturing new parts, with new advanced materials, ensuring the quality of the results.”
