In-pipe Robot with Capability of Self Stabilization and Accurate Pipe Surface Cleaning
After 50 years the connections between fresh water pipes (800-1000mm diameter) need to be repaired due to aging and dissolution of the filling material. Only in Vienna 3000km of pipes need to be improved, which requires a robotic solution. The main challenge is to accurate place the robot in the center of the pipe while overcoming the push back forces and vibrations caused in the cleaning proce...
متن کاملDesign of Inspection and Cleaning Robot
In power plants, there are several places such as vessels, surface, nozzle pipes which need to be inspected and cleaned regularly. To ensure the integrity of power plant, these various places must be periodically inspected using ultrasonic sensors and visual cameras. The surfaces and many parts of the plant should be cleaned as many times as required to prevent contaminations. Cleaning of power...
متن کاملDesign, Modeling and Experiments of An In-pipe Magnetostrictive Impact Drive Mechanism
This paper presents a magnetostrictive in-pipe impact drive mechanism (IDM). To estimate the output performances of the IDM, a dynamics model was developed based on the magnetostrictive material constitutive model and mechanical model of the IDM. Therefore, an experimental system has been built to test the motion performance of IDM. Simulation and experimental results illustrate that the propos...
متن کاملIn-pipe inspection robot system with active steering mechanism
I n this paper, we present a robot system for inpipe inspection of underground urban gas pipelines. The robot is configured as an articulated structure like a snake with a tether cable. Two active driving vehicles are located in front and rear of the system, and passive modules such as a control module are chained between the active vehicles. The proposed robot has outstanding mobility oflered ...
متن کاملInvestigation of Design & Fabrication of In-Pipe Inspection Robot
This paper proposes an in pipe inspection robot with the wall-pressing force adjustment using DC motor. It is developed for long distance inspection in sea-water pipelines such as horizontal pipelines and slope pipelines with large variable diameters from 600mm to 800mm. Its mechanical design consists of two modules as driving module and control module. The driving module has three pantograph t...
