This schematic shows the laser bondline inspection (LBI) process. It uses a controlled laser pulse to transmit a compression wave perpendicularly into a bondline between two composite structures. The ...

An integrated system combines induction-heated adhesive curing with robotic part handling and laser inspection to help process and inspect steel or aluminum doors, hoods, deck lids, and other ...

A $2M development led by Lockheed Martin will commercialize autonomous vehicle for inspecting deep-sea oil and gas infrastructure. Defense and aerospace giant Lockheed Martin is to develop a ...

Xarion’s laser-excited acoustics (LEA) is a couplant-free nondestructive testing (NDT) method that uses laser principles and an optical microphone without a membrane. In a single-sided “pitch-catch” ...

The DS1000 3-D displacement sensor from Cognex is factory-calibrated to provide real-world units of measurement (mm) with micron-level accuracy, making laser profiling easier to use and quicker to ...
