Application of industrial endoscope in parts manufacturing

Released on Jan. 20, 2022

Industrial endoscope is a non-destructive testing equipment widely used in the field of industrial manufacturing and maintenance. It extends the visual distance of the human eye, breaks through the blind spot of human eye observation, and can accurately and clearly observe the interior of machinery and equipment or the inner surface of parts It avoids unnecessary disassembly and disassembly of equipment and possible damage to parts during the inspection process, and has the advantages of convenient operation, high inspection efficiency, and objective and accurate results. , is a powerful tool for enterprise production process control and quality control.

1. Monitor product quality

In the production and manufacturing process, it usually includes many links. In each link, product quality may have problems of one kind or another, especially internal defects, which can be seen very clearly with industrial endoscopy. For example, in steam turbine manufacturing, involving In different links such as forging, welding, casting, etc., the processed parts may have problems such as inclusions, cracks, burrs, pores and so on. For defective products found, they can be remedied in time, or abandoned, so as to ensure product quality, reduce unnecessary processing procedures, and save production costs.

2. Design and process improvements

The inspection using industrial endoscopes can be very comprehensive and form an endoscopy inspection database. By analyzing and regularizing these data, and exploring the rules, the design and process can be improved in a targeted manner, and at the appropriate process stage. Detection and protection.

Through endoscopic inspection, it will be found that there may be residues left in the casting process, and some parts are prone to rust during processing, so physical and/or chemical methods can be used at the corresponding stage to clean up foreign objects and rust, for example, Air blowing, polishing, high-temperature pickling with high-temperature steam, etc.; in addition, through a large number of tests, it can be found that the parts where rust often occurs, so as to improve the manufacturing materials, for example, it is found that some carbon steel pipes with low pressure are easy to rust but not easy cleaned, then it can be replaced with stainless steel tubing during the manufacturing process. All these have to pass through multiple industrial endoscopy inspections, extract the inspection data, find common faults, and make targeted improvements to the design process materials. In the long run, it can effectively improve product quality and reduce inspection and maintenance costs.
