For quality control of sheet metal joined by resistance spot welding (RSW), an INDU-SCAN test bench in operation was converted using existing technology and modernized by combining it with intelligent algorithms and robot technology. Following a successful pilot phase, the technology is now in series production for electric car manufacturing at the Zwickau vehicle plant.

The new ImageIR® 9800 is the ideal device for high-resolution thermographic measurements of highly dynamic processes, even at low object temperatures. The radiometrically calibrated infrared camera operates in the long-wave atmospheric window (LWIR). Thanks to a cooled focal plane array photon detector with (1,280 × 1,024) IR pixels and a pixel pitch of 12 µm. It delivers razor-sharp images and distortion-free sequences even with short integration times or at low radiation intensity.

Active thermography in combination with high-resolution infrared cameras is an elegant testing method to analyse measuring objects in a non-contact and non-destructive manner. As an optical measurement method, it enables fast defect detection and quality assurance – nearly regardless of the object material.

Infrared thermography offers precise temperature measurement in various wavelength ranges such as short wave infrared (SWIR), mid wave infrared (MWIR) and long wave infrared (LWIR) of a wide range of materials.

On 3 September 2025, interested parties and thermographers from science and industry will have the opportunity to learn more about the possibilities of thermography in the demanding field of research and development.
