F1 Platform The F1 platform is a highly portable ultrasonic quality testing device that has been specifically designed for the evaluation of resistance spot welds and adhesive bonding joints.

Runs... V3 Software (RSWA)

The V3 Software is the predecessor of the V4 Software package, which supports Resistance Spotweld Inspection (RSWA) on the older F1 platform. Data is stored as Microsoft Access (mdb) files on local or shared network drives.

The major components of RSWA software are Array Explorer, Launcher, and User Manager.
  • Upgrades software on F1 units.
  • Does NOT support installation on other hardware.

Designer Software

RSWA Desktop Tools package allows managing RSWA data on your desktop computer or laptop. Key features include:
  • Designer, Reporter and Database Tools
  • Installation or upgrade on desktop computers or laptops
  • The installer version is recommended for its simplicity and convenience, although it requires administrator permissions during installation.
  • A zipped version is available for manual installation and upgrades.

The V4 Software provides comprehensive support for two critical inspection processes:
  • Resistance Spot Weld Analyzer (RSWA): Facilitates thorough analysis and evaluation of resistance spot welds.
  • Adhesive Bonding Inspection (ABIS): Enables efficient inspection and assessment of adhesive bonding joints.

The V4 Array Explorer software constitutes the core functionality of the F2 units. The provided installer is used to upgrade the existing software on F2 units.

Note: The V4 software is designed specifically for installation on F2 units, with compatibility on newer F1 units or those which have undergone a hardware upgrade. Installation on alternative hardware is not supported.

Desktop Tools

The Desktop Tools software provides a range of functionalities all accessible through your desktop or laptop. Requires TDS to operate. It includes:
  • Efficient management of your parts catalog;
  • User administration; and
  • Seamless integration of inspection data imported from F2 units,

The V3 -> V4 Importer software is a tool which allows the integration of legacy software templates (V3) into the new software platform (V4).

Tessonics Data Service

The Tessonics Data Service (TDS) Server is the central hub that stores your parts catalog, user info, and inspection data. It is required by Desktop Tools to function. One server installation can support many instances of the Desktop Tools and F2 units.
  • Installs on a central server
  • Updates existing installations
  • May require IT involvement. Contact Tessonics for assistance with new installations.
