Explanation of air leak detection and automation using acoustic cameras. Consideration of stepping motors for inspection camera turntables and scanning devices.
Compressors account for a significant portion of power consumption in factories. Air leaks from their piping lines directly lead to enormous power losses (cost losses). In recent years, "acoustic cameras (ultrasonic cameras)" that detect these air leaks using specialized microphone arrays and visualize them on displays have become widespread. Taking it a step further, there is a growing demand to incorporate these acoustic cameras into leak testing devices on automated lines or to mount them on the pan-tilt mechanisms of surveillance cameras within factories for 24-hour automated inspections. Our "stepping motor series" can be considered as precise positioning drive axes for such inspection cameras, allowing them to be accurately directed to the desired angles or to slide along the piping. This offers a cost-effective alternative to expensive servo motors, enabling the automation of inspection equipment while keeping costs down.

basic information
■ Key Points of Air Leak Detection and Acoustic Camera Technology - Visualization of Ultrasound: Capturing high-frequency sounds (ultrasound) that are inaudible to the human ear, which occur when air leaks, using multiple microphones, and overlaying this data with visuals to identify leak locations. - Automation of Inspections: By incorporating rotating mechanisms for fixed-point cameras and automatic transport robots, there is a demand for systems that reduce reliance on manual inspection tasks and continuously monitor power loss. ■ Features of Stepping Motors for Inspection Equipment - Precise Angle Control: Can be utilized for fine angle adjustments in the pan (left-right rotation) and tilt (up-down pitch) mechanisms of acoustic cameras, as it rotates accurately in sync with pulse signals. - Excellent Cost Performance: Designed based on open-loop control that does not require expensive encoders, significantly reducing the development and manufacturing costs of inspection mounts that use multiple axes. - We conduct domestic inspections for prototypes and small lots, delivering them to you.
