Herrmann Ultrasonics has created a barcode scanner with software to accomplish unique device identification (UDI), according to the Karlsbad, Germany-based firm. The system is suitable for the DIALOG series machine, and traceability is available for each weld process. The scanner can accomplish part and batch identification as well as link to previously stored weld parameters to simplify machine operations, according to the firm. The barcode system also can be used in production for weld process release, long-term archiving of process data and verification of part presence. After the weld is complete, and if the results of the weld are within the established quality windows, the laser marker can permanently etch a number onto a part, Herrmann Ultrasonics said.
