Inspection Ultrasonore Robotisée de Pièces Composites by Guillaume Ithurralde, Franck Maurel

“…Enfin le quatrième a été défini pour balayer des panneaux de fuselage auto-raidis de plus de 10m². Si toutes ces machines ont été bâties sur des composants standards, leur intégration a bien évidemment été effectuée en tenant compte des exigences et des contraintes de nos clients, tels que les critères de détection, la cadence et les flux de production, la surface au sol disponible, etc. …”

Air-coupled Ultrasonic Inspection of Thermoplastic Composite Structures for Aerospace Vehicles by Armin Huber

“…One focus of the German Aerospace Center is to develop cost-efficient manufacturing processes for large-scale composite components such as liquid hydrogen tanks, rocket booster pressure vessels, and aircraft fuselages. To enable a high degree of automation in the manufacturing, robot-assisted tape-laying processes with flash lamp consolidation of thermoplastic prepregs are preferred. …”
