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 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.
