ABSTRACT:
Methods and means for testing and storing data relating to the quality of resistance spot welds in an automotive wheel are provided. The wheel may be rotated for one revolution or less, dependent upon the number of transducers used, while a counter generates pulse signals representative of the locations of the wheel as it is revolved. Ultrasonic signals are transmitted towards and received from locations in the wheel at which the presence of welds is being tested. Storage devices, responsive to signals from the counter and the received ultrasonic signals store counts representative of the locations on the wheel where acceptable welds start and end to thereby determine the diameters of the welds. The data stored also indicate locations and durations of voids in the welded areas.
