Automated Eddy Current Circular Scanning using Linear Axes
Requirements for Eddy Current Automated Scanning Eddy Current Testing requires a constant linear scanning speed when performing automated inspections. This is typically required because the eddy current response is a function of the applied High and Low Pass filters, whose output vary as a function of scanning speed. In general, we use mechanical turntables, which […]
Automated Eddy Current Testing for Aero-engine Components
Advanced 3D Scanning Solution for Aero-engine Components Aero-engine disc components such as; bearing rings, fan and compressor discs are typically inspected at different stage of manufacturing from their pre-formed to final machined shape. Engine bearing are among components that are inspected at different manufacturing stage, from dimensional controls to the detection of the tiniest surface […]
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 […]
