NextSPOT 800

Introduction

Introducing the NextSPOT 800. By leveraging the many years of experience and expertise to inspect spot welds in the NDT industry, we have upgraded the 800 with the latest state-of-the-art hardware and software and integrated it with a TFM/FMC scanner with real-time 3D scanning capabilities. The new system is the best-of-class ultrasonic flaw detector to handle all your automotive spots weld NDT needs, whether in production lines or field environments.

In today’s ever-increasing competitiveness in the automotive manufacturing segment, NextSPOT 800, its easy-to-use and powerful feature interface can save valuable time and hugely increase productivity.

Spot Weld Inspection

Key Features

Real-time Imaging and Other Testing Methods

NextSpot 800 can provide A/C-scan and real-time display on spot weld. NextSpot 800 can support single element probe testing, PA imaging testing as well as various nonultrasonic methods, data capture, chisel inspection, visual inspection, and many more.

Accurate Measurement - 64 Channels, 1MHz-25MHz Bandwidth, 400 Mhz/12 bits DSP

By adopting a parallel 64 channel design, 1MHz-25 MHz analog bandwidth, and 12 bits DSP, it gives NextSpot 800 the most accurate measurement of welding nuggets and indentations. Furthermore, the results are all visual and can be immediately determined whether the results are passed or failed.

Software

NextSoft Studio

NextSoft Studio - Spot Weld

Each NextSpot 800 comes with the standard version of our NextSoft Analyser System, which works well as an independent stand-alone spot weld inspector. But often NDT inspections require functioning as a group or team supervised by management. The NextSoft Studio Admin software provides this function. The admin version can upload required part images, create visual labels showing exactly where and what to test, set testing sequences, and capture inspection results in a database for statistical evaluation.

NextSoft Studio Cloud - Optional

Our NextSoft Studio Cloud is a cloud data management tool that can synchronize data among multiple units to a single repository location. Inspection plans, test locations, settings, and captured results can be managed for production-line or field teams and downloaded to a remote management system for further analysis.

NextCOUP Gel

Industrial Ultrasonic Couplant

NextCOUP is an industrial ultrasonic couplant specifically designed to produce the best and most accurate results when applied to automotive parts during spot weld inspection, regardless of whether the material is bare or painted.
