Octobotics Tech has recently unveiled its state-of-the-art magnetic crawler-mounted robotic arm, redefining industry standards. In the dynamic realm of industrial inspection and thickness gauging, staying ahead demands innovation. This latest breakthrough in the NDT industry combines the power of remote inspection with technology.
The robotic arm goes beyond the basics, equipped with the power to strip away rust flakes and flaking paint. Now the industry is witnessing its precision in action on a bulk carrier, accessing intricate constructs such as frames and webs. The robotic arm ensures more accurate gauging, offering a better solution. It excels at navigating complex structures, setting a new standard in the industry. It is equipped with three cameras for 360-degree awareness and one stereo camera for remote defect sizing. The integration of the proven Cygnus Dive Gauge facilitates monitoring thickness values, with live A-scan capabilities making remote operation a breeze. In this device, switching to the deep coat mode is just a click away, for better efficiency.
Despite being mounted with the Cygnus Dive through paint gauge, surface cleanliness is paramount for precise thickness gauging. The robotic arm can be equipped with a lightweight, remote-controlled tool of our choice. Additionally, their in-house-developed tools include a rotary wire brush for clearing loose rust, an impact needle descaler for thicker scales, and even a grinder for tough coatings or thin scales. Octobotics Tech has claimed that their robotic assistant is ready to face any challenge head-on.
Octobotics Tech has plans for exciting updates on 3D scanning, autonomous weld scanning capabilities, and other use cases like water jetting for high-standard cleaning of cargo holds. Currently, their latest leap in remote inspection and thickness gauging technology signifies a transformative era in industrial inspection and NDT. The combination of a magnetic crawler-mounted robotic arm with cutting-edge features ensures unparalleled precision and versatility.
