Gridbots Magneto TUBESCAN

Boiler Inspection and Service Robots

Gridbots Magneto series of robots are designed to be used in vertical and inclined waterwalls of power plant boilers.

It has the capabilities to climb almost all kinds of magnetic surfaces with a payload Up to 50 kgs in most extreme temperature and surface conditions. The robot can be used for surface inspection, weld inspection, blasting, painting, coating, grinding, lapping or many other operations where it is difficult for a human worker to reach. The robot is ultra light construction from aircraft grade aluminum and high strength magnets to adhere to the surface with active distance compensation force multipliers underneath the body.

The robot is internally powered by strong PMSM geared motors, pedometer and 6 DOF IMU sensor to track the motion in all 6 DOF.It also features distance offset sensor beneath its surface to keep a constant distance maintained from the surface.

The robot has an array of 10 EMAT/USONIC sensors to measure the tube thickness and report it in real-time to the base computer- where a depth profile of pipes can be composed for later analysis

ROBOT CONTROLLER

Another interpretation of an HDMI robot controller could be a robotic control interface that utilizes an HDMI connection to interact with a computer or display device. In this context, the HDMI port might be used to present a graphical user interface (GUI) on a connected screen, providing a visual platform for controlling and programming the robot.

This is particularly advantageous during the development and debugging phases, where a clear and detailed display of the robot’s status, sensor readings, and other critical data can streamline the process of fine-tuning the robot's operations.
