3D Sensors and NDT System with IR Cameras

Overview

It works with the active thermography method. A heat source imparts thermal stimulation to the material under study. The effect of the stimulus on the material is recorded with an IR camera, and by analyzing the time-dependent heat flow with a series of thermal images obtained, the result image is created, which provides information about the smallest defects on the surface of the material and possible errors, inhomogeneities, and thermal irregularities in its internal structure.

For active thermography control, it is sufficient to connect the sensor head to the computer with IrNDT analysis software. C-CheckIR offers a flexible NDT system with sensor that can be used for mobile controls and inline production processes.

It offers non-contact and non-destructive measurement. It can be integrated into production lines, no surface and sample preparation is required. It provides the ideal real-time solution for composites and many other material types.

Technicial Specifications

Temperature rise (ΔT) during measurement around +8 °C
Review time 10 – 25 seconds
Inspection area 430 mm x 340 mm
Weight (Sensor Head) Approx. 3.0 Kg (depending on system configuration)
Stimulus source: Halogen Lamp, Power 1.7 / 2.0 kW

For efficiency, wide area scanning can be performed and, if necessary, the measurement area can be expanded with a secondary stimulation source.

It is also possible to apply on vertical surfaces.

Outdoor version available; It is possible to adapt it according to ambient temperature and humidity conditions.

System advantages

- It detects errors at a high rate
- It can be integrated into production lines
- It results in short measurement times
- No surface and sample preparation is required - IR system can be monitored continuously in the field - Easy system configuration and maintenance - Automatic loading of inspection parameters, automatic analysis and storage of inspection results

Error types it is sensitive to

- Corrosion - Porosity - Contamination - Delamination - Structural cracks - Impact damage - Fiber orientation - Adhesion problems - Clustering - Spot weld defects - Paint/coating thickness defects

Configuration

Depending on the desired task, the basic package is defined by one or more evaluation modules. It varies depending on the type of warning source, its use and mathematical analysis. The system is optimally adapted to the material being analyzed by applying different measurement procedures.
