AEROSPACE
In the Aerospace industry, composite materials are increasingly being used in the construction of commercial aircrafts. The AcoustoCam™ can easily inspect these materials.
50% Composites
20% Aluminum
15% Titanium
10% Steel
5% Other
Certified by Boeing
Boeing’s procedure for the AcoustoCam™ is available to all 787 Dreamliner owners.
Compsites have benefits and drawbacks.
Pros
Composites are lighter and stronger than their traditional aluminum equivalents, allowing newer aircrafts to fly faster, farther and to carry more weight.
Cons
Unlike aluminum, composite materials
may not show damage if there are certain types of impact to the aircraft.
Thus, inspection systems operated by highly trained technicians may be called to the scene to verify aircraft integrity.
The resulting delay leads to lost revenue as aircraft must be removed from service in addition to the considerable equipment and personnel costs associated with existing ultrasonic test (UT) systems.
A portable, hand-held device, the AcoustoCam™ can be used for an immediate survey of suspected damage areas.
Crisp, hi-resolution images can be monitored by an expert thousands of miles away, allowing for a more effective use of scarce technical resources.
The AcoustoCam™ connects to the Internet via Wi-Fi connection providing a window into remote operations.
