Withsol: Measured by ultrasonic sensor: Adsorbed by magnet roller
-Withsol maintenance and inspection Robo is amazing! –
With Sol:
Developed “UDP-32”, a robot that measures the thickness of large-diameter pipes with ultrasonic waves.
A wireless robot for maintenance and inspection.
Aging plumbing fixtures:
In Japan, the number of plants that have been installed for more than 40 years is increasing, and the need for inspection of piping equipment is increasing.
The company handles non-destructive inspections, etc., and has sales of 6.2 billion yen in the fiscal year ending March 2020.
“UDP-32” robot:
The inspection speed has been increased by about 1.5 times compared to the company’s equipment.
By making it wireless, incidental construction costs such as scaffolding installation (about 80% of maintenance and inspection costs) have been reduced.
Petrochemical plants, etc.
High-altitude piping,
Tank side plate,
Chimney, etc.
Aim to receive orders for large steel structures.
Robot configuration:
The robot
With 32 ultrasonic sensors
Equipped with a plate thickness measurement unit,
Consists of three drive and control units.
It is attracted to the object with a magnet roller, moves in the axial direction in the piping, and the plate thickness is measured.
Ultrasonic non-destructive testing performance:
Measure a range of about 340 mm in width in one run.
The running speed is 60 mm-90 mm per second.
For pipes and flat plates with a diameter of 250 mm or more, the plate thickness is 2 mm to 60 mm.
It is battery operated and operates for 4 hours.
Water, which is the medium for ultrasonic waves, can be sprayed near the sensor in a small amount.
measurement data
Visually judge the thinned part by color mapping on the personal computer screen.
Advanced analysis by recording all waveforms is also possible.
Robo receives the operation by the operator and the laser emitted from the front,
It also supports automatic control driving that corrects the position.
New switch
With Sol Co., Ltd.
Wall thickness measurement from a remote location by wireless communication UDP series
Wireless model A robot that is driven by a motor and runs under automatic control to continuously measure plate thickness.
