Abstract
The non-destructive inspection of CFRP structures utilizing active thermography is characterized by a wide range of manual tasks. A flexible gripping system operating free of interference in the thermo-graphic inspection procedure and also capable of adapting itself to specific components was methodologically developed. The system drapes certain test specimens automatically in front of the thermal excitation sources as well as in the thermographic camera's field of view without a gripper change.
