Exploring the Potential of Automated Eddy Current Testing with TecView® EC
While manual eddy current inspections are common, crucial aerospace parts that necessitate high-sensitivity inspections are better suited for automated testing. Aero-engine turbine disc surfaces, spool welds, borehole, and firtree inspections already benefit from automated eddy current scanning systems. Eddy Current: A Vital NDT Technique for Detecting Surface Flaws in Aerospace Components Many of the aforementioned […]
The Benefits of Automated Ultrasonic Testing using Advanced Gain Correction Map Technique (GCM)
Enhance your Ultrasonic Testing (UT) with Automation Automated Ultrasonic Testing (UT) plays an important role in several manufacturing industries, especially in the Aerospace industry, where Automated UT helps to inspect large and complex structures, and to quickly analyze the acquired UT signals. These scanning solutions use water tanks or jets to provide constant and controlled […]
Advanced Eddy Current Scanning Solution for Aero Engine High Pressure Compressor Rotor Spools
Aircraft engine MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) plays a crucial role in maintaining engine continuous operation and flight safety. The high-pressure compressor rotors (HPCR) section of the engine is among the components that require periodic inspections to detect the tiniest manufacturing flaws as well as any crack produced by the loads, fatigue or temperature variations […]
TecView® UT: Variable Inspection Gating Tools for Ultrasonic C-Scan Imaging of Aero-engine Components
Gating of ultrasonic signals represents an essential tool when performing Automated Ultrasonic Testing (UT). Signal peak follower gates are the first ones to be defined and they are used to synchronize the other gates position with the time displacement of the reference signal echoes. Gates can also be used to detect the interface echo between […]
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 […]
