Motion Control System - MCP
WesDyne Sweden specializes in developing and manufacturing manipulator control systems, including Motor Control Panels (MCPs), air manifolds, and signal converter units. These systems can operate independently or be connected via wired Ethernet TCP/IP network, with wireless options available.
The MCP, a proprietary control system family, has been continuously developed since its inception in 1993. WesDyne Sweden has produced numerous MCPs to support manipulators and scanning equipment for Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) in nuclear power plants. The latest generation of the MCPs is the MCP4000.
The current generation, MCP4000, is a four-axis control system containing a microprocessor-based motion controller, a power supply for 4×200 W DC motors plus auxiliary systems such as cameras, input/output (I/O) units and an Ethernet switch.
The Nemo manipulator is designed for Visual (VT), Ultrasonic (UT) & Eddy Current (ET) inspections underneath the nuclear core.
The T-crawler’s main objective is to perform Ultrasonic (UT) and Eddy current (ET) inspections of underwater welds in narrow gaps.
The Omnibus 360 is a toolcarrier developed to facilitate a robust and reliable frame for pipe inspections in small confined spaces with very limited direct access.
The carrier was designed to carry interchangeable End effectors for remote Visual (VT), Ultrasonic (UT), Penetrant (PT) and Replica Molding (RMT) inspections.
The UR10 robot is designed to execute penetrant testing (PT) inspections under the reactor vessel head. The PT process requires several steps which this robot handles fully remote.
The Reptilica tool is designed for Replica Molding (RMT) inspection in the thermal sleeves of a PWR reactor.
SVIP is a manipulator designed for remote Visual (VT) inspection of internal parts in nuclear power plants. The manipulator has a modular structure and can be configured for different inspection cases.
