InfraTec participation in EU Project?ThermoBot?
Autonomous robotic system for thermo-graphic detection of cracks
(PresseBox) - Non-destructive testing of components is an important auxiliary process step, not only in post-production but also in regular maintenance. In the project ?ThermoBot? a fully automated test system is being developed in corporation with InfraTec GmbH. This system shall replace previous techniques in crack detection, such as the ecologically undesirable and poorly automatable magnetic particle inspection. The test sequence for each new component is based on its 3D-CAD construction data. The robot uses a process model of thermal image as well as a work-cell simulation to plan a collision free robot path with complete coverage of the area to be tested. During the inspection the system performs the thermographic test including image segmentation, fault detection and classification. Simultaneously, an online process simulation takes place to evaluate the quality (contrast) of the images. Real-time results are transferred to the robot control to adapt the robot path in case of any unknown deviations (geometry, surface structure, thermodynamic properties). Applications for the system are intended in testing metal components as well as components made from compound materials in the automotive and aircraft industry, during production as well as regular maintenance.
The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement No. 284607.
The Dresden-based company InfraTec GmbH Infrarotsensorik und Messtechnik is a specialist for products and services in the field of infrared technology. InfraTec was founded in 1991 and, with its own capacities in manufacturing and development, employs more than 200 staff now. In the business field of sensor systems, custom-made components are produced on more than 1.000 m² of clean room space ? especially pyroelectrical infrared detectors ? for clients worldwide. The business sector of infrared measuring technology operates in all areas of thermographic applications, with its scope of performance ranging from sales of thermographic cameras to the self-developed and manufactured high-end thermal camera series ImageIR®.
With more than 30 sales partners worldwide, InfraTec ranks among the largest suppliers of thermography and non-military thermal imaging systems across Europe. For approx. 20 years, InfraTec has been supplying thermal imaging technology to demanding customers among institutions, companies and organizations assigned with safety and security tasks. The equipment was tailored to their respective needs and specialized to their criteria of application. So e. g. a special solution of a rotation test bench is offered by InfraTec. This scope of performance is perfected by expert consultancy in the choice of equipment and by providing staff training when introducing thermal imaging technology.
