BAWSF Selects WEIPU Power & USB Connectors for Oil & Gas Inspection Equipment

 

Project Overview

 

BAWSF is a Brazilian inspection company specializing in Shearography, a non-destructive testing method used to detect internal flaws in composite materials. Their inspection systems are deployed across offshore platforms, refineries, pipelines, and shipyards, where equipment must operate reliably under harsh field conditions.

 

 

 

 

Application Challenges

 

To support their portable inspection system, BAWSF needed rugged, waterproof connectors to connect a controller to a camera, laser, and piezoelectric actuator. The solution had to handle both power and data transmission while withstanding vibration, moisture, and outdoor exposure.

 

 

 

Why the Right Connectors Matter

 

BAWSF’s advanced shearography systems typically integrate components such as:

 

  • Laser diode modules
  • High-resolution cameras (CCD/CMOS)
  • Control electronics
  • Fiber-optic or Ethernet data links
  • Thermal/pressure modules 

 

 

These systems demand connectors that are:

  • Power & Signal Ready – For driving lasers, sensors, and control electronics
  • High-Speed Data Compatible – For clean signal transmission in USB, RJ45, or fiber interfaces
  • Rugged & Sealed – With IP67 or higher ingress protection to resist dust, moisture, and vibration

 

 

 

What WEIPU Products Are Used?

 

BAWSF adopted WEIPU’s:

 

  • SP21 Series – Power connectors with IP68 sealing and robust connections for outdoor and industrial use.

  • SY25 Data SeriesUSB data transmission, IP67 waterproof bayonet coupling for ease of use and reliability, and cable assembly services for plug-and-play deployment.

 

 

“Your connectors are of excellent quality, we hope to do more business with WEIPU in the future.”

— Bruno Schutz, Software and Electronics Development, BAWSF

 

 

BAWSF adopted WEIPU SP21 and SY25 USB series on the controller system.

 

 

BAWSF successfully integrated WEIPU connectors into their inspection equipment, achieving:

 

  • Enhanced field durability and setup efficiency
  • Reduced connection failure rates
  • Long-term system reliability in demanding oil & gas environments
