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 Series – USB 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
