ScoutDI has added an ultrasonic thickness measurements (UTM) payload, full with in-flight A-scan, to the capabilities of its end-to-end inspection knowledge resolution for the Scout 137 drone.
The product is appropriate for offshore purposes the place drones have gotten frequent for visible inspection and metal plate thickness sampling have to be carried out usually to watch e.g. the consequences of corrosion over time.
Adding the UTM payload allows the Scout 137 drone to gather location-tagged visible knowledge and UTM knowledge in the identical flight.
Unlimited flight time permits stress-free inspection and lets the operator work at their very own tempo to get the very best thickness measurements in a protected approach, says ScoutDI. When extra couplant gel is required, reservoir swap and refill is straightforward to do.
The UT probe and arm meeting additionally characteristic a versatile head mount (pat.pend.) with mounted magnets to make contact straightforward. The controller contains a devoted launch button. A crimson laser is seen within the digital camera feed and guides probe placement, and the probe mount might be angled in-flight to suit a variety of floor orientations.
Visual and thickness knowledge from an inspection is saved side-by-side within the Scout Portal and visualized in the identical 3D level cloud.
