SYSTEM TO INSPECT A SURFACE THROUGH GUIDED WAVES (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)

摘要

System of inspection of metallic surfaces, or of composite materials, able to detect the existence of structural defects or disturbing elements such as corrosion, ice, impurities, etc. Two robots with displacement capability allow the dynamic transmission and reception of data without previous establishment of the measurement points, they manage to cover large surfaces. Furthermore, with optimized inspection routines, large areas can be covered in the shortest time possible considering also the possibility of operating with a wide range of excitation frequencies in order to adapt to different thicknesses and materials. It achieves the reduction of both maintenance costs and risks of material or personal damage, facilitating inspections in areas of difficult access and improving the quality with respect to inspections carried out by conventional systems.
