SMALL MECHANISATION IN ULTRASONIC INSPECTION

Manual ultrasonic inspection has its own specifics. Therefore it is not able to perform inspection which would be efficient enough in some cases. There are places which are not accessible for inspection without additional costs. There are applications which required collecting and recording of the huge amount of data and accurate measuring probe leading, e.g. phased array or TOFD applications. It is not only suitable but essential to use handling equipment in these cases which can be very expensive and sophisticated equipment on one hand but it can be also much more simple and efficient equipment on the other hand. This small mechanisation makes possible to perform the remote inspection, accurate volumetrical, surface and in line testing, it saves meausuring probes, very significantly saves time and also additional costs in some cases.
