Abstract

High temperature, fatigue, and impact are the main causes of internal cracks in revolved workpieces. Crack propagation assessment is an effective method to avoid fracture. Ultrasonic testing has been widely used when testing internal cracks in revolved workpieces. However, the existing ultrasonic detection equipment makes it difficult to detect revolved workpieces with complex structures. This paper proposes an automation system including six degrees of freedom (DOF) robot, ultrasonic transducer, and turntable. The system can realize non-destructive testing automatically for complex revolved workpieces. A new method is designed to measure and correct verticality error and eccentricity error. The method was applied to detect complex revolved workpieces and the detecting resolution can be effectively improved.
