Challenge
Monitor the quality, speed and positioning of automated welding processes in hazardous or hard-to-reach areas.
Setup
Phantom v711 coupled to robotic positioning systems and specialized laboratory software.
Result
Images of joints smaller than 1 mm that make it possible to evaluate metal transfer and arc stability in the new processes.
