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 … [Read more...]
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 … [Read more...]
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 … [Read more...]
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 … [Read more...]
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 … [Read more...]
