Measurement and Inspection Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A measurement and inspection lab that finds internal weld defects in situ, during processing.
AboutAbout the lab
Finding defects in situ, during processing
The Measurement and Inspection Engineering Lab researches methods for measuring and detecting, during processing, internal defects in welds and joints that cannot be seen from the outside.
In manufacturing settings, defects can occur unintentionally as a result of various unavoidable disturbances.
Internal defects reduce joint performance, so inspection is essential, but when defects are found, rework steps are required and production efficiency drops, which is a problem.
The lab expects that if quality assurance can be performed in situ during processing, it could bring innovation in production technology.
Key terms
- Internal defects
- A defect formed during welding or joining that cannot be seen from the outside. It reduces joint performance, so inspection is essential
- In-process
- Measuring or inspecting in situ during processing, rather than after processing is finished
- Laser ultrasonics
- A method that uses a laser to perform dynamic, non-contact, in situ ultrasonic flaw detection
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to replace the inspection of internal defects that is currently performed after fabrication with measurement during processing, so that quality can be assured in situ. To this end, it researches and develops advanced, high-precision measurement methods that can be applied in-process.
