The development resembles a 3D printer: instead of a print head, there is an infrared camera and an ultrasonic warning device. The system is controlled remotely via a computer, and a motorized platform moves the object accurately for analysis, the press service noted.
The uniqueness of the installation lies in the use of the thermoacoustic method, which combines ultrasonic and thermal technologies, said Arseniy Chulkov, head of the Acting TPU Industrial Tomography Center. The material is given high-frequency vibrations, which, when colliding with defects, are converted into heat. These “hot spots” are captured by a thermal imager, allowing to precisely determine the damaged areas.
