    robotic technology was translated
    Weld inspection with autonomous weld following
    This innovative technology is using an
    industrial camera to recognize the weld
    seam. Image processing algorithms
    constantly extract the weld features from
    the image stream and determine its center
    position. The information is sent to the on-
    board motor controllers which maneuver
    the robot precisely along the weld.
    For the operator this is a completely new
    way of performing weld inspections. Now
    he can fully concentrate on the inspection
    data while the robot guides the NDT
    probes along the weld seam.

    Raster Scanning corrosion mapping


    Without the use of tools the FAST UT can
    be changed to the raster scan mode with
    an additional scan axis. This configuration
    is ideal for corrosion mapping inspection
    and wall thickness measurements.
    In this mode the system delivers the
    two encoder positions (X-, Y Scan) to the
    Ultrasonic (or Phased Array) instrument to
    create an accurate C-Scan. For corrosion
    inspections along pipes, e.g. lower half of
    pipelined, curved scan axis are available.
    Even inspection inside tanks vessels are
    possbile.
