Advanced Inline UT Testing
In line automated manufacturing has quickly become more complex than ever. In order to ensure the quality of the product being manufactured, inline testing is now a critical part of the manufacturing process. Many different inspection techniques such as; visual, electromagnetic, ultrasonic and many more are used in industry. Each method is intended for a […]
Automated Ultrasonic Scanners: Impact of Axes Misalignment
Ultrasonic testing using immersion or squirter systems require appropriate metrological calibration and alignment in order to provide excellent system performances including repeatability and defect detectability. In addition, the required performances of the automated UT system are related to the targeted inspection application. Simple applications where large defects are sought may only require basic system alignment […]
Flexible UT Inspection
Ultrasonic testing is one of the most effective ways to validate the integrity of aerospace composites. Introduction of automated ultrasonic testing for aerospace composites has benefited the non-destructive testing (NDT) field through increased inspection speed, imaging capabilities and repeatability. The issue with testing these unique and exotic materials is primarily due to their shape. NDT […]
Contrôle Non Destructif des Soudures par Ultrasons
L’inspection pour la qualité des soudures est une application typique du Contrôle Non Destructif (CND) par ultrason. Que ce soit pour valider les procédés de fabrication ou pour une inspection systématique des pièces produites, l’inspection par ultrason est une technique relativement facile à intégrer à la production en ligne avec un impact minimal sur le […]
The Use of Industrial Robots for NDT Applications
An efficient use of articulated robotic arms for NDT is still a work in progress. Nondestructive testing is the preferred quality control technique for many manufacturers from different domains ranging from industrial to aerospace. With automated NDT, we use scanners and robots to increase the speed and repeatability factor of NDT techniques, creating much more […]
