INTERNAL DEVELOPMENT STUDY
Condition-monitoring sensor mount
Develop a removable mount with repeatable positioning, service access and a suitable sensor interface.
Project updates & results
Proposed study
This is a proposed internal development study. Verified parts and results are not yet available.
The brief defines what the study will investigate and measure.
The proposed brief
Attach and relocate a sensor module on a representative equipment casing or structural section while preserving the host interface and providing service access. Start on a dummy section or test frame.
Design, iteration & manufacture
Printed fit gauges and clamp variants; machined or fabricated mounting components; isolation pads, standard fasteners and protected cable routing. Compare bracket stiffness, assembly access and repeatability. Couple the module to DS02 if useful.
What the study will measure
Installation time, retention, position repeatability, bracket resonance, relevant sensor signal repeatability and environmental screening. Establish whether an isolation pad helps protect electronics or undermines measurement coupling; the answer depends on the sensor. Evaluate material compatibility and corrosion with a partner where needed.
Applications for customers
Retrofitting inspection and condition monitoring to onshore/offshore energy equipment and transport assets. ORE Catapult's RADBLAD project illustrates the importance of inspection hardware, access and validation in offshore wind. Its full robotic system is industry context, not the proposed scope of DPM's mount. ORE Catapult RADBLAD
