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