Abstract

In recent days, most of the industries are facing many problems to find out damages inside the pipe line. The pipe inspection Robot was made to avoid this problem and to find out the exact place of damage and to reduce the time of evaluating, repairing and managing of interior surface pipes. One of the most important requirements in inspection, repairing and maintenance of interior pipelines is the ability to monitor and evaluate interior surface of pipes. This research work deals with the modelling of robot for inspection, cleaning, maintenance to evaluate the interior surface piping systems. The design of pipe inspection robot has been done in NX Cad (UNIGRAPHICS).the robot is designed in such way that it can be used for different pipe diameters. The design and development of pipe inspection robot involves a mechanism which in turn is connected to two opposite sides of frame of links, joints and wheels. So by using this pipe inspection robot one can find out the exact location of damage inside the pipe, so that it will be very easy to resolve the problem.
