Abstract: A scissor arm for an articulating support is configured to rotate about an axis of rotation. The scissor arm includes a central support structure at least a portion of which extends in a plane that is perpendicular to the axis of rotation. The scissor arm also includes a tubular body including first and second members that form opposing sides of the scissor arm and are attached to the central support structure. Each of the first and second members of the tubular body includes an outer wall spaced from the plane, an upper flange extending from the outer wall toward the plane, and a lower flange extending from the outer wall toward the plane.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for controlling a spot welding arrangement, the method comprising the steps of moving a welding tip portion of the spot welding arrangement between a first and a second position by applying a force to the welding tip portion; determining a distance moved between the first and second positions; determining a type of welding yoke connected to the spot welding arrangement based on the determined distance and the applied force; and controlling settings of the spot welding arrangement based on the welding yoke connected to the spot welding arrangement.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a welding machine adapted for performing a spot welding process on a workpiece, wherein the welding machine is specifically adapted for automatically applying pre-conditioning a welding pulse portion to the workpiece prior to performing the spot welding process. The present disclosure also relates to a corresponding method and computer program product.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method determining wheel alignment parameter of a vehicle comprising a vehicle body. In particular, the method is performed by attaching a measuring arrangement to positions at a first and second longitudinally extending side portions of the vehicle body, respectively. A first and a second lateral center position are determined whereby a wheel alignment parameter in the form of a longitudinally extending centerline of the vehicle is determined.

Abstract: The present invention relates to method for ultrasonic inspection of a test object, comprising the steps of defining a coordinate system of the test object; selecting, relative to the coordinate system of the test object, at least two positions of a test area; positioning a respective ultrasonic measuring device at the at least two positions within the test area; transmitting, an ultrasonic wave pattern into the test object; receiving an ultrasonic wave pattern signal; acquiring an ultrasonic reference wave pattern signal for a reference area of a reference object, and comparing the received ultrasonic wave pattern signal from the test object with the acquired ultrasonic reference wave pattern signal of the reference object for detecting a defect in the test object.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining spindle angles of a steerable wheel axle arrangement. In particular, by means of the method, an image of at least one wheel axle optical marker arranged in connection with a wheel axle and an image of a spindle optical marker arranged in connection with the spindle is acquired, where after rotation of the spindle, center of rotation and an axis of rotation of the spindle can be determined.
