Optical analyzer - Inverse macroscope Qeye 200 / Qeye 800

Weld seam analysis – precise, fast and standard-compliant.

The Qeye 200 and Qeye 800 optical analysis systems by QATM set new benchmarks in visual quality control. As inverse macroscopes, they enable high-resolution image capture and precise measurement of weld seams, solder joints and components – directly on the macro-section.

The Qeye 200 specialises in the analysis of demanding laser welds – ideal for the automotive industry, electronics, and research and development in joining technology. The Qeye 800 excels in series production and materials testing, for example in steel construction and plant engineering, where weld shape, penetration depth and potential defects need to be assessed reliably.

Both systems deliver reproducible results in accordance with international standards such as DIN EN ISO 5817, supported by Intelligent Area Illumination and the powerful Qpix Control2 software – for laboratories that make no compromises on quality or throughput.

Innovative operation Convincing benefits

Convincing benefits - Optimized specimen illumination

Optimized specimen illumination

IAI = Intelligent Area Illumination. The Qeye system features innovative LED analysis area illumination. Each of the 4 illumination profiles (right, left, front, rear) can be switched on or off smoothly and individually. This now enables faster and more precise testing, without the disturbance of light influences or grinding reflections.

Convincing benefits - Touch control panel

Touch control panel

Qeye offers impressive ease of use via freely programmable capacitive buttons. Once centered, the Q lights up to indicate the current status, and used to trigger imaging. The buttons located in the corners can be configured to control LED illumination, zoom, field of view and brightness. The soft-touch control panel is responsive, even when used with gloves.

Convincing benefits -

Qpix Control2

Operated by tried and trusted Qpix Control2 software. Combination of hardness testing and optical analysis in a familiar user interface using just one PC. Efficient measurement and inspection of weld specimens in seconds, live image, 3D Smartview and a uniform reporting system for hardness testing and macro analysis.

Features and benefits

Qeye saves time, providing detailed analysis and measurement with supreme accuracy. Robust modern industrial design. Easy replacement of the glass sample carrier. Absolutely dust-tight due to assembly in a clean room.

Applications Benefits of practical experience

Application examples - Measuring tools

Measuring tools

Precise measurement tools ensure the fast and easy measurement of weld specimens. Lengths, angles, circle, polygons for area or perimeter calculations. Zoom and brightness can be calibrated individually.

Application examples - Welding seams

Welding seams

Fillet weld measurement with full range of intuitively operated measurement tools

  • Easy adjustment of measuring lines
  • Seam quality evaluation
  • Recordable notes

Template mode including reference image

Customised client templates can be saved along with a reference image of the survey and accessed at any time. Predefined survey elements and the QATM standard catalogue are also pre-installed in the system

Snapping measurement lines

Different measurement lines can be linked together individual-ly and precisely aligned with one another. This allows complex measurement tasks to be carried out in a structured and efficient manner.

Application examples - Standard-compliant test equipment

Standard-compliant test equipment

All necessary measuring tools are, of course, a basic component of the software for weld inspections according to DIN EN ISO 5817. For example: the A dimension, the depth of burn-in, evaluation limits and a standard-compliant inspection report.

Industry 4.0 Equipped For Today And Tomorrow

 Industry 4.0- Professional Data Management

Professional Data Management

Benefit from clearly-structured batch management, the effective template use of various test projects, well-organised measurement results and all job information in the background. Once created, templates receive all requisite information about test samples, including test methods, designations and user-field information.

 Industry 4.0- Automatic export functions

Automatic export functions

Many pro-level export functions are built into Qness solutions as standard. Raw data is exported into CSV/TXT and XML, report exports into MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF – as part-specific issues or as individual exports. All export configurations can also be stored individually for templates.

 Industry 4.0- Barcode/QR code/DMC reader

Barcode/QR code/DMC reader

Qpix software platforms support the use of barcode and QR code readers, simplifying workflows for inspectors and preventing operator error. Populating header data is simple (standard), and readers can be fully integrated to automatically select templates or retrieve data from higher-level systems (optional).

 Industry 4.0- Qconnect

Qconnect

Qconnect is the interface in QATM Qpix Control2 software, providing customers with a full portfolio of inter-device connectivity - from serial production, open XML interfaces (bi-directional) and pre-specified plug-in solutions, such as the QDAS Plug-In+, through to customer-specific connectivity solutions implemented completely by QATM. We have a professional solution for every applicational requirement.

Applications Standard Assessement of welds

Standard-compliant weld evaluation – structured and fully documented. The Qeye systems support the entire inspection process: from the custom configuration of your own inspection standards directly within the software, through the systematic identification of irregularities in accordance with DIN EN ISO 5817, to a complete, print-ready inspection report with evaluation groups. This ensures that every test meets the highest standards – in a traceable and audit-proof manner.

Create custom standards

Design standards exactly as you want them – directly within our software. This allows you to implement standards efficiently and adapt them flexibly to your specific requirements.

Identification of irregularities

Once the survey has been completed, any irregularities can be assessed in accordance with DIN EN ISO 5817.

Standard test report

To ensure comprehensive documentation, all results can be included in a complete test report, including the evaluation groups
