CHORUS – AUTOMATED

Comprehensive High-Output Robotic Ultrasonic System (CHORUS) is designed for the inspection of large and small composite parts, forgings, and other metallic components. CHORUS is optimized for Ultrasonic Testing techniques (PE, TTU, PAUT) as well as a wide range of NDT techniques such as EMAT, Eddy Current, Radiography, Thermography, and Shearography.

The flexible CHORUS platform can be integrated with tracks, turn-tables, rotating scanners, part actuators, and immersion tanks in single and multiple robot configurations working separately or together.

Standard UT inspection systems include:

• Single Robot (6-axis). Water-column UT/PAUT, Immersion Tank, and TTU with a yoke.
• Dual Robot (6-axix * 2). Water-column UT/PAUT, Immersion Tank, dual robot TTU. Inspecting on shared or separate areas simultaneously.

CHORUS has been optimized to inspect complex aerospace components with irregular edges, cut-outs, radii, T and Ω stringers, and intricate double curvatures.

‍NDT-WEB ROUTINE

CHORUS robotic systems include Innerspec’s NDT-WEB ROUTINE (Robot UT Integration Environment), a suite of web-based and seamlessly integrated sub-programs covering all the Offline and Online processes required to manage the inspection.

Offline Software:

• ENSEMBLE: Inspection Cell Design. Provides tools to design and share designs among different facilities.
• OVERTURE: Part Discovery using 2D lasers and cameras to find and create a 3D model of the object to be inspected.
• HARMONY: Automatic Trajectory Generation synchronized with the motion of the robot.

Online Software:

• TEMPO: Ultra-low latency Robot Communication protocol that ensures swift and seamless data exchange between the robot and the NDT instrumentation. Available for both KUKA and ABB robots.
• DIRECTOR: System Control software that coordinates all online processes during inspection.
• COMPOSITION: Data Acquisition NDT software. The system can be integrated with instrumentation and software from Innerspec and other manufacturers (e.g. UTEX InspectionWare).

CHORUS hardware and software is designed and built in the USA‍.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
