Developed by Atommash, the company’s mechanical engineering division, the system is designed to perform ultrasonic inspections of welds up to 30 centimeters thick in nuclear power plant reactors and steam generators, an essential process to ensure critical equipment’s structural integrity and safety.
Ultrasonic testing, a widely used non-destructive technique, helps detect invisible internal defects during visual inspections. Traditionally, this process involves technicians manually moving scanners across the surface of the welds, a time-consuming and physically demanding task. The new robot automates this movement, allowing inspections to be completed far more quickly and with improved accuracy.
