Abstract
A device for performing non-destructive control of a rail that develops along an axis, the device comprising a support frame designed to be positioned in the vicinity of the rail, and an ultrasound detection unit movable relative to the frame, the device further comprising an anthropomorphic robot having a base connected to the frame and an end portion connected to the detection unit; said robot is designed to move the detection unit relative to the rail in a first direction substantially parallel in use to the axis, in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction and in a third direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction and second direction.
Claims10
A device (1) for performing non-destructive control of a rail (R) that develops along an axis (A), said device (1) comprising a support frame (10) designed to be positioned in the vicinity of said rail (R), and an ultrasound detection unit (20) movable relative to said frame (10), characterised in that it comprises an anthropomorphic robot (3) having a base (30) connected to said frame (10) and an end portion (35) connected to said detection unit (20), said robot (3) being designed to move said detection unit (20) relative to said rail (R) in a first direction (X) substantially parallel in use to said axis (A), in a second direction (Y) substantially perpendicular to said first direction (X) and in a third direction (Z) substantially perpendicular to said first direction (X) and second direction (Y).
