What are your parts telling you?
Traditional aerospace NDT methods inspect only for known issues and in many cases only testing a small fraction of the parts due to sampling practices. Destructive testing quickly becomes costly. Adding Vibrant’s revolutionary PCRT testing to your NDT inspection routine allows you to quickly test all parts to immediately identify every potential issue and end costly destructive testing.
The Wholistic Approach
Unlike standard NDT, which can many hours for a single part, Vibrant tests parts in a matter of seconds, comparing data from the whole part against all others. Comparative analysis quickly identifies parts out of conformity, even on microstructural and chemical levels.
Aerospace Applications
More than any other industry, each part in aerospace is mission critical. A single defect has the potential for costly or even catastrophic consequences. Resonance delivers a whole-body view of every part, giving you the power to better identify and eliminate defects well before failure on a large variety of aerospace parts, regardless of metal, alloy or material composition.
