FAQ
Robotic NDT, in plain terms.
- What is robotic NDT inspection?
- Robotic NDT (non-destructive testing) uses a 6-axis robot to move an ultrasonic probe along a part — welds, curved skins, complex geometries — with a repeatable path, stable orientation and full traceability. ROBINSPECT builds that inspection system, not a generic robot cell.
- Can a robot perform ultrasonic testing (UT, PAUT, TFM)?
- Yes, if trajectory, coupling and acquisition are designed together. ROBINSPECT integrates UT, PAUT and TFM with robot position so the scan is synchronized — the same idea as a skilled inspector, without the variability of the gesture.
- Which industries need automated NDT robotics?
- Aerospace and space structures, energy and nuclear assets, heavy industry and any site where critical components are expensive to stop, hard to access, or must be documented for audit.
- Are you locked to one robot or sensor brand?
- No. The platform is vendor-agnostic: multi-robot, multi-sensor. The value is the inspection workflow — geometry, trajectory, acquisition and report — not a single hardware stack.
- Are you a robot manufacturer or an integrator?
- Integrator. ROBINSPECT does inspection engineering: geometry, trajectory, coupling, UT/PAUT/TFM acquisition and the report. Vendor-agnostic — multi-robot, multi-sensor. We do not lock you into one OEM.
- Do you work in constrained or hazardous environments?
- Yes. Confined, nuclear, high-HSE sites are a core use case: less time in the constrained volume, a replayable path, Level 2 expertise behind the cell (UT & ET). Constrained environments.
- Where is ROBINSPECT based?
- Belgium, with a focus on Europe and the United States. Technical discussions are already open with NDT, robotics and high-value industrial players.
