ROBOTIC CRAWLERS
Masterscan Engineering Pte Ltd will be investing in new low profile external pipe inspection robotic crawler which will be able to tackle most pipes from 6” to 24” diameter. The Modular Design allows for vertical climbing.
These crawlers are designed with Modularity, simplicity, ease of maintenance and off the shelf components.
Revolutionizing Inspection Capabilities
Why Robotics in NDT?
01
Precision and Efficiency
-
Robotic systems offer precise movements and consistent performance.
-
They can carry out inspections with high accuracy, reducing human error.
03
Difficult-to-Reach Areas
-
Robots can navigate tight spaces, crawl through pipes, and explore nooks and crannies that would challenge even the most agile human inspector.
02
Safety
-
Robots can access hazardous environments, eliminating risks to human inspectors.
-
Think of them as our fearless explorers in radioactive zones or confined spaces.
04
Multipurpose Use
-
These mechanical marvels aren’t one-trick ponies.
-
They can handle various tasks, from surface scanning to vision-driven applications.
Types of Robotic Systems in NDT
Robotic Arms
-
These versatile arms can perform manipulation, specific picking, surface scanning, and more.
-
They’re like the Swiss Army knives of NDT.
Crawlers
-
Imagine tiny, tireless creatures crawling along pipes, tanks, and other structures.
-
These robotic crawlers inspect hard-to-reach areas and internal obstructions.
Vision-Driven Robots
-
Equipped with advanced sensors and cameras, these robots “see” defects and anomalies.
-
They’re like the eagle-eyed detectives of NDT.
Real-World Applications
Robotic systems are deployed in various NDT scenarios:
01
Weld Inspections
-
Robots scan welds for cracks, porosity, and other imperfections.
03
Aircraft Maintenance
-
Robots check aircraft surfaces and components.
02
Tank and Pipeline Inspections
-
Crawlers explore the insides of storage tanks and pipelines.
04
Bridge and Infrastructure Inspections
-
Crawlers climb bridges and tunnels, ensuring their structural integrity.
