SAW Bug - The Motorised Weld CrawlerWith a four-wheel drive system, the magnetic buggy has excellent

grip and drive power and delivers constant speed whether ascending

or descending the inspection surface.

The standard SAW Bug holds four transducers:

typically two phased array and two TOFD probes but can

accommodate up to six probes. Its compact design makes it

adaptable for the inspection of a wide range of welds from 4" OD

pipes up to large vessels.

Safety and inspection bot startup Gecko Robotics adds $7 million to the coffers.

Gecko Robotics aims to save human lives at our nation's power

plants with its wall-climbing robots. To continue doing so, the

startup tells TechCrunch it has just secured $7 million from a cadre

of high-profile sources, including Founders Fund, Mark Cuban, The

Westly Group, Justin Kan and Y Combinator.

We first reported on the Pittsburgh-based company when co-

founder Jake Loosararian came to the TechCrunch TV studios to show off his device for the camera. Back then, Gecko was in the YC Spring 2016 cohort, working with several U.S. power plants and headed toward profitability, according to Loosararian.

The system is designed for testing long welded joints of pipes, tanks,

vessels, cisterns, ship hulls, bridges, etc. using TOFD technique.

Circumferential welds with a diameter from 12 in (300 mm) can be

inspected on cylindrical objects. On cylindrical, spherical, as well as

complexshaped objects with a radius of surface curvature from 16 ft (5

m) to flatness, the system is capable of testing long welds in any

direction. Objects with wall thickness from .25 to 12 in (from 6 to 300 mm) can be examined with the help of appropriate probes. Depending on the inspection task, TOFD MAN TM system can be complete with another scanner (see "Scanners").

Moisture�Detection�Imaging�(MDI)Acuren's Moisture Detection Imaging (MDI) is a must-have component of any CUI program. MDI will

identify the presence of moisture within,

or under insulation without the use of any other Non-Destructive

examination or testing and without having to remove the insulation, with

visual confirmation in real time.

Detecting moisture is one way to attack the root cause of corrosion versus focusing on symptoms. MDI is a

part of our comprehensive CUI inspection program providing information that enables operators and owners to make decisions and

prioritize where to focus more targeted inspection methods.

The AMSY-6 is a fully digital multi-channel (2 to 248 channels) AE-measurement

system. It consists of parallel measurement channels and the system front end

software which runs on an external PC. A measurement channel consists of an AE-

sensor, preamplifier and one channel of an ASIP-2 (dual channel acoustic signal

processor). Each channel combines an analogue measurement section and a

digital signal processing unit. AE-features, such as time of the first threshold

crossing (arrival time), risetime, duration, peak amplitude, energy and counts, are

extracted by the ASIP-2. In parallel to the feature extraction, the complete

waveform can be recorded to an optional transient recorder module.

German industrial gases group Linde and U.S. rival Praxair secured

conditional EU antitrust approval on Monday for their $82 billion merger,

competitor Air Liquide in gas distribution. The companies' industrial gases

such as oxygen and helium are used in hospitals, MRI scanners and steel

production.

The European Commission said the companies' pledge to sell assets to

reinforce a Japanese rival in Europe and other concessions addressed its

concerns that the deal may lead to price hikes and hurt competition.

The company was shortlisted in the Collaboration and Innovation & Technology categories, thanks to an extensive portfolio of work carried out over the year.

As a specialist in NDT and robotic inspection technology, the Perth-headquartered company works with the world's leading research, development and equipment manufacturing providers to deliver customised solutions to clients in the subsea sector and many other industries.

CEO Jason De Silveira said being shortlisted for the awards was testament to the hard work of Nexxis staff and key collaboration partners including Inuktun, Data61, Riezler, Eddyfi and Australia's CSIRO.

"We've been fortunate to be involved in some exciting and innovative projects this year," Mr De Silveira said.

"In every case, the solutions have required clients, suppliers, research partners and the Nexxis team to work collaboratively to understand the challenges, share ideas and technology, and devise appropriate outcomes.

"The result of such collaboration is innovation at its best."
