SUMMARY:

This work presents the development of a robotic system for inspection of the pipe wall thickness of the Angra 1 Nuclear Power Plant using digital twins. The thickness measurement is based on the ultrasound technique. The robotic inspection system comprises 3 units: the first unit is mobile and positions the robotic arm close to the measurement locations, the second unit comprises a robotic arm with an end-effector capable of automatically measuring the thickness of the pipe wall, and the third unit comprises the power supply, data communication and ancillary services. To develop the robotic system for measuring thickness, a validation prototype was built in the laboratory to study different situations and geometric configurations that may appear in the field, that is the turbine building of the Angra 1 reactor. The digital twin of the prototype was developed with the Process Simulate software including robot, metal platform and pipe sections. This work presents the conception of the robotic system, the conception of the end-effector and the results of the development of the digital twin for the robotic system for measuring thickness and for the validation prototype of the robotic cell in the laboratory with a vertical pipe section of the plant. The virtual commissioning allowed verifying and determining the access reach of the outer surface of the tube by the robotic arm.
