X-ray inspection

×

1 / Need identified

Installation developed for the automation of X-ray weld inspection for the aerospace sector. The process is carried out using two robots. One robot positions the digital film, which, when exposed to the X-ray gun of the other robot, reveals an image of the weld for subsequent analysis. The entire process takes place in a bunker to protect against radiation.

2 / Solution

Design of 3D-printed cradles post-processed with fiber and resin. The additive manufacturing process has made it possible to obtain very lightweight yet strong cradles. This allows for increased robot positioning speed and reduced cycle time.

2-AXIS ROTATING TABLE
2-axis table system that orients the workpiece by interpolating the movement with the robot that positions the films

3D CRIB WAREHOUSE
Crib warehouse with geometries adaptable to the surfaces of the piece.

FILM FEEDER
Digital film storage that feeds the robot with the appropriate size film at each stage.

BUNKER EXIT SYSTEM
System for sending films outside the bunker for scanning and analysis.

Advantages

Improved Ergonomics: By automating the clamping system for each piece using electric motors, the manual work of positioning the tooling is eliminated, reducing time and effort.

Quality improvement is ensured through a sensor system and tracking program that accurately determines the position of each part. This prevents human error.

Productivity improvement, by increasing the size of the warehouse with all the film models that each piece needs, thus reducing the time that was previously used for this change and thus being able to optimize the work cycle.
