Benefits and Constraints of Completing NDT Measurements at Height - Robotic Contact-Based NDT Industrial Inspections

Nondestructive Testing (NDT) for Ultrasonic Thickness (UT) using aerial robotic inspection systems (drones) that make physical contact with a structure or asset enables more data gathering in less time and is safer than placing humans at elevation to take measurements. This allows for more accurate insights into an asset’s structural integrity and operational viability. The Apellix Opus X4 UT aerial robotic systems are highly extensible and agile enabling safer, faster, and better inspections while gathering a breadth and depth of data heretofore unavailable. As with almost any task or job selecting the right tool from your toolbox is important. We discuss in this segment how and when to use an aerial robotic system to take UT measurements at elevation. .
