Enhanced automated weld inspection system

June 2025 Sensors & Transducers

SmartRay is offering the release of new hardware for its weld inspection system, JOSY, delivering elevated performance and flexibility in the process. Continued innovation and an ongoing commitment to customer satisfaction have led to these development enhancements to the modular system which include a new terminal, controller and terminal controller, all tailored for small and large installations.

The new and upgraded JOSY Terminal, capable of controlling up to 10 controllers, delivers unparalleled flexibility. Built on the solid foundation of the JOSY Statistic Module, it incorporates significant upgrades leading to higher performance and improved processing of inspection data. A more cost-effective solution, it incorporates a new PC which is up to five times faster and as a scalable solution, it is ideal for larger installations.

Alongside the launch of the JOSY Terminal is the new JOSY Controller. This next-generation controller also includes a PC for faster processing and higher performance.

The JOSY Terminal Controller is another major innovation in weld inspection. This brand-new product development combines both the terminal and the controller into one streamlined, compact, standalone unit for small to medium entry-level installations. Easy to use and integrate, this new product is a cost-efficient and user-friendly solution for single- and dual-system needs.

SmartRay vice president, Bernd Lorösch commented: “Our continued innovations and investment in JOSY mean users will see increased performance through the new hardware. This increase in processing capability ensures a more responsive and efficient inspection system.”

As part of SmartRay’s ongoing efforts to offer value to its customers, the new JOSY hardware comes with improved pricing, making advanced weld inspection technology more accessible. Additional configuration options are available, and customisable to fit the individual needs of all production lines. “We are also incorporating AI functionality, future-proofing our systems for adaptability once the technology is in place,” he concludes.

SmartRay specialises in 3D sensors (or laser scanners) for measuring tasks, quality inspection and robot guidance. Through this 3D Laser Triangulation technology, manufacturing companies can improve their product quality, optimise their automation processes and reduce production costs. Due to its 100% focus on 3D technology, SmartRay has built up a comprehensive portfolio which quickly and reliably solves a wide range of 3D applications.
