Ball mill inspection with Elios 3
The context
Engineering around
the operating need.
Internal ball-mill inspection presents confined-space access challenges. This pilot explored the use of Elios 3 to gather inspection and three-dimensional information without personnel entering the mill.
Technology
Elios 3 collision-tolerant drone technology
Work undertaken
- Internal inspection and scanning of ball-mill components
- Visual condition information for maintenance assessment
- Three-dimensional information to support engineering review
The purpose
Assess the potential for safer internal inspection and useful condition information for maintenance planning.
