Project Concept

Our simple 3 step process…

The main idea of the project is to develop a combination of non-destructive testing equipment and collaborative robots that will relieve the operators from monotonous scanning work and allow them to focus on important data analysis.

Idea

Semi-automated Human-machine co-working for socially sustainable manufacturing on flexible NDT

Design

Robotic system, NDT ultrasound system, Safety concept and peripheral systems, Programming and Human Robot interaction system

Build

Individual developments from the partners combined to make the final demonstration working on Voestalpine’s facilities

Project Specific Objectives:

Semi-automated ultra-sonic testing system combining:

• the precision and endurance of a robotic manipulator
•the human proficiency in non-destructive testing and
•the capacity to comprehend complicated outcomes from NDT experts.

Employ cooperative robots for scanning large surfaces

Relieving users/NDT specialists of the tiresome and boring task

Allowing experts to focus entirely on understanding and approving any abnormalities that are found
