| Custom Projects |
This page shows examples of various custom projects developed for major corporations. Due to the sensitive nature of much of our work, we are not able to display many of our custom robotics.
| Fuel Barrel Scanner | |
  |
This tool manipulates the custormer suppled sensors over the the entire interior of a cylinder in order to detect microscopic flaws. The tool carries 9 focused immersion transducers, and is propelled using stepper motors. The first tool was developed, built, tested, and delivered within two weeks. This tool was developed to automate our customers manual inspection of specialized fuel barrels.

| Generator Inspection Robot | |
 |
MAGIC - Miniature Air Gap Inspection Crawler
This tracked vehicle, only 1 1/4" in thickness, carries high resolution video cameras to inspect the rotor and stator surfaces inside an electrical generator. Nova Technology designed and fabricated the control system as well as the tool.
|
| Gas Turbine Inspection Robot | |
 |
This 7 axis robotic arm was designed and built by Nova Technology to visually inspect gas turbine components without disassembling the turbine. The computer controlled arm performs complex multi-axis moves to position its two high resolution cameras through a 3/4" gap. |
| Underwater Inspection Tool | |
 |
CSI2000
The CSI2000 couples a multi-axis ultrasonic inspection tool with an ROV (remotely operated vehicle) to inspect small diameter submerged piping.
|
| Heat Exchanger Cleaning Tool | |
 |
This tool is used to clean the inside of a large heat exchanger. Access to the pressure vessel is through a 5" diameter hand-hole. The head of the tool is raised vertically 12 feet before it starts washing the tubes with commercially available high pressure water jets.. |
 |
|
| Prototype Micro Manipulator | |
 |
Only 10mm in diameter, this tool was developed in conjunction with a major university as part of a feasibility study in the use of miniaturized water hydraulics. The gripper's "wrist like" action and feedback allows the user extreme flexibility in a small package. |
