Example welds

The image below is the Surface Profile Imaging interpretation of a poorly executed weld.

Poor Quality Weld

This is an example of a poorly executed fillet weld. The scan output image shows only approximately half the weld was detectable as a weld (the small, yellow area). The area where the rest of the weld should be was too inconsistent in size and shape to be detected as a weld.

The three images below are renditions of a single weld. Collectively they provide the basic steps and output from the Surface Profile Imaging system.

5mm Fillet Weld with dry shampoo used to highlight weld.

This is what the scan looked like in Revoscan. NOTHING was cut from this scan. It was left untouched when uploaded to Surface Profile Imaging.

SINGLE SHOT scan in Revoscan, B&W only, dry shampoo paint used.

Scan file size 1.3MB.

Same 5mm Fillet weld. Here there are 2 views of the weld from within Surface Profile Imaging.

The 1.3MB file was uploaded into Surface Profile Imaging where it was processed. 3 planes were detected - 2 material planes (orange and green) and 1 plane that is the weld (yellow). The algorithms also calculated the weld root (purple line)

Graphic Interpretation of the weld and joined planes. Bottom left is whole weld interpreation. Bottom right is single point view.

This is the software generated version of the weld and the two planes now joined. One can drag the cursor along the redition on the bottom left and the view of the three elements are displayed dynamically in the bottom right view.
