NONDESTRUCTIVE INSPECTION TECHNOLOGY
On-the-fly inspection for AFP
Ingersoll Machine Tools Inc. (Rockford, IL, US) highlighted its
recent successful partnership with the National Center for Defense
Manufacturing and Machining (NCDMM, Blairsville, PA, US) and Orbital
ATK (Dulles, VA, US) on an automated inspection system completed for
the US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL, Dayton, OH). The newly
developed Automated Composite Structure Inspection System (ACSIS),
which consists of a camera, lamps and a line scanner mounted on the
layup machine gantry, scans the layup to identify and fag faws. This
enables inspections of parts made with automated fber placement in
real-time while the composite structure is being fabricated, so defects
and anomalies can be detected and repaired during the fabrication
process. www.ingersoll.com
