SmartGrind datasheet

Modular attachment to the award-winning AUGA.node weld inspection system. Identifies and solves a wide range of weld defects. Equipped with HD cameras and state-of-the-art laser sensors which collect data that allows targeted, localised repair or full flush of the LSW. Driven by an automated software algorithm, the grinding head avoids the possibility of subjective human error. Rapid defect remediation allows production to proceed with maximum efficiency. Following repair, welds are rescanned to confirm they have achieved project criteria. Identify and solve excess penetration, spatter, sharp edges, flush, scale residue and crystallisation.
