Voliro T is a drone designed for contact-based interactions. Thanks to its tiltable rotor design it can apply constant force of up to 30 N to surfaces. It is equipped with several NDT sensor payloads for different kinds of inspection work:

  • UT thickness gauge for material thickness measurements
  • EMAT thickness gauge for material thickness measurements
  • DFT sensor for paint and coating thickness measurements
  • LPS testing payload for wind turbine lightning protection system test

With its superior stability and wide range of available sensor payloads, it’s the most advanced NDT drone available in the market. Compared to other available products it offers:

  • More stable flight control thanks to multi-sensor fusion
  • Higher pressure forces thanks to tiltable rotor systems
  • 360 degree mobility thanks to 6 degrees of freedom
  • Wider range of available sensor payloads

Inspection
The Voliro T performs contact-based Non-Destructive Testing inspection of elevated structures.
Measurement
The Voliro T can be equipped with an EMAT or UT sensor for material thickness measurements, as well as a DFT (Dry Film Thickness) sensor for paint and coating thickness measurement. It can also be used to test the functionality of lightning protection systems of wind turbines.
Accuracy
With EMAT there is a high amount of reliability and repeatability in thickness measurements. A working gap of 3mm between the probe and surface can be tolerated.
Usability
Advanced perception systems to stabilize itself in GPS-denied areas close to structures. A real-time video stream from an onboard FPV camera helps to create an intuitive flying experience and provides the pilot with the necessary awareness.
Reporting
NDT inspection data is visualised live and stored for PDF report generation following the inspection mission.
