چکیده
Abstract An innovative pilot installation and eddy current testing (ECT) inspection system for laser-brazed joints is presented. The proposed detects both surface sub-surface welding defects operating autonomously integrated with a robotized arm. Customized probes were designed experimentally validated detecting pore 0.13 mm diameter buried 1 deep. integration of the manufacturing process towards an Industry 4.0 quality control paradigm also discussed.

Time of Flight Diffraction (tofd), an Advanced Non-destructive Testing Technique for Inspection of Welds for Heavy Walled Pressure Vessels
TOFD technique is based on diffraction of ultrasonic waves on the tips of discontinuities instead of reflection on the interface of discontinuities. When ultrasound is incident at linear discontinuities such as crack diffraction takes place at its extremities in addition to the usual reflected wave. The diffracted energy is emitted over a wide angular range, presumed to originate at the extremi...
متن کاملRobotic Non-Destructive Inspection
Automation of non-destructive testing (NDT) of engineering components and structures represents one of the strategic objectives of many industries. It enables increases in accuracy, precision and speed of inspection while reducing production time and associated labour costs in contrast to manual inspection. The use of robots can provide additional flexibility and autonomy to automated NDT. Auto...
متن کاملData fusion for automated non-destructive inspection
In industrial non-destructive evaluation (NDE), it is increasingly common for data acquisition to be automated, driving a recent substantial increase in the availability of data. The collected data need to be analysed, typically necessitating the painstaking manual labour of a skilled operator. Moreover, in automated NDE a region of an inspected component is typically interrogated several times...
متن کاملInspection of Internal Tank Welds using the ACFM Inspection Method
This paper describes the application of the ACFM technique for weld inspection and focuses on recent experience in both Europe and Central America in the use of the technique for the inspection of steel storage tanks. Inspection of the tank floor is usually conducted using magnetic flux leakage methods but it is recognised that this cannot be applied to the detection of cracking in the welds jo...
متن کاملNew Non-destructive Test Technique on Metal Inspection
− In this paper a new non-destructive testing (NDT) system focusing on micro size superficial defects in metals is presented. The innovative system is composed by a new type of eddy currents probe, electronic devices for signal generation, conditioning and conversion, automated mechanized scanning and analysis software. The key original aspect of this system is the new type of eddy currents pro...
