Robotics Inspections
AUT stands for “Automated Ultrasonic Inspection” in the field of NDT. The term emphasizes the integration of automation in the ultrasonic testing process. AUT is a sophisticated NDT Technique used to inspect materials for defects or flaws, commonly in various industries where quality assurance and safety are paramount. Automated UT inspection utilizes robotic scanning devices, new-age transducers, and advanced data analysis software, making it a viable option for inspecting a diverse range of materials and components.
AUT improves the accuracy and efficiency of material inspections. Various industries such as oil and gas, Aerospace Industry, manufacturing, and construction employ AUT Testing for their troubleshooting requirements. In these domains, AUT plays a vital role in upholding the safety and structural integrity of important components, pipelines, welds, and other critical infrastructure.
Automated ultrasonic testing (AUT) is a type of ultrasonic testing technique that utilises computerised methods to drive the ultrasonic scanning device around the part being scanned. Automated ultrasonic testing may include computer software that helps technicians while scanning a metal piece for defects. AUT lowers the ultrasonic scanning time for multiple applications.
Automated UT testing utilises some essential components like transducers, receivers, computers and display screens. Operators need to interpret and analyse the results and they need to set up the automated ultrasonic testing equipment on a new metal piece once a scan is completed. The automated ultrasonic machine is widely used in the pipeline industry.
