      A robot for non-destructive testing weld inspection of offshore mooring chains 

      Hernández Frías, Alfonso ORCID; Altuzarra Maestre, Oscar ORCID; Petuya Arcocha, Víctor ORCID; Pinto Cámara, Charles Richard; Amezua San Martín, Enrique ORCID (SAGE Publications Inc., 2018-05-09)
      Welding flaw detection is a key step in manufacturing many components. In offshore chains, every link is manufactured from a steel bar that is bent and the ends joined by flash butt welding. Ultrasonic inspection of the ...

      Translational parallel manipulator with Pa2 kinematic joints 

      Hernández Frías, Alfonso ORCID; Zhang, Zhen; Petuya Arcocha, Víctor ORCID; Macho Mier, Erik; Amezua San Martín, Enrique ORCID (Springer, 2016-10-01)
      The kinematic pair Pa2 is composed of two interlinked parallelograms. It has two degrees of freedom that generate a translational plane variable with position. It has a structure different from the PaPa pair, which is ...
