Key Features of Two Axis Manipulator for Online UT Scanning of M.S. Plates

• The Plates are moving on a conveyor having Maximum Speed of 3 m/min.
• There are total 14 Probe Holders [For Holding Ultrasonic Probes] out of which 4 are fixed for edge sensing and balance 10 are continuously horizontally reciprocated for stroke length of 460 mm at a speed of 14m/min.
• This testing is carried out before these plates are converted into Saw Pipes.
• The horizontal reciprocating system comprises of ball lead screw with linear guides driven by servomotor and drive.
• The speed can be varied from 1.5 m/min. to 15 m/min. The reciprocating arm has two guided rods on which probe holders are mounted.
• This entire reciprocating system can be lifted or lowered automatically with the help of sensors to sense presence or absence of plates.
• The specially designed probe holders have water inlets and water flows through each of them through a common manifold.
