Non-Destructive Testing
Modern composite materials are light and strong. By choosing an appropriate combination of matrix and reinforcement materials, a new material can be made to meet the requirements of a particular application.
“The Optonor system has been used for testing of delaminations in jet-engine honeycomb components. It has performed excellent for many years!”
Failure mechanisms in composites are different from other materials and the inspection technologies available during development, production and in-service are limited. The defect detection technology presented by Optonor provides inspection and measurement solutions specially adapted to the failure mechanisms and mechanical characterization of composites. Measured data and results are presented in standard export formats for reporting and data storage.
