Large-Scale Industrial Plants

Our ultrasonic inspection technology is used in large-scale systems for the EC 145 tail boom and for payload fairings of satellites with scanning lengths of over 20 meters.

RUAG Space in Emmen, Switzerland operates one of the largest air-coupled inspection plants in the world. The system works with our USPC 4000 AirTech with an AirTech probe pair in through-transmission. The two probes are guided synchronously and diametrically along the curved component surface by two robots. One robot is inside the component, the other outside. The system achieves a scanning speed of up to 1000 mm/s and a positioning accuracy of 1 mm.
