Abstract:
An automatic ultrasonic examination device includes an ultrasonic test instrument, a robot arm, and a control device. The ultrasonic test instrument includes an ultrasonic probe to send ultrasonic and detecting reflected waves while being in contact with the spot-welded portion, and an ultrasonic test instrument main device connected to the ultrasonic probe to convert the reflected wave detection signals received from the ultrasonic probe into test information. The control device includes a real center location computing unit to identify a real center location of the spot-welded portion with reference to pieces of test information obtained around a preset tentative center location of the spot-welded portion, and a determination unit to check quality of the spot-welded portion with reference to test information obtained at the real center location.
