Compact assembly for hand of robot includes group of sensors to monitor internal conditions of such complex equipment as turbines, pumps, motors, and generators. Inspection head includes sensors; for example, pyrometers, isotope wear analyzers, spectrometers, and interferometers. Conditions as overheating of turbines, wear of ball bearings and seals, erosion of blades and impellers, leakage of joints, and deformations of housings, monitored without disassembly or shutdown. Used in typical robot applications.
