https://starfos.tacr.cz/cs/projekty/FW10010093
This project „FW10010093 Automated phased array ultrasound systems for inspection of metal and composite parts“ is co-financed with the state support of the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic and the Ministry of Industry and Trade within the TREND Programme. This project is funded under the National Recovery Plan from the European Recovery and Resilience Instrument.
The goal of the project is to develop a complex of technologies for individual types of ultrasonic NDT based on a modern and efficient Phased Array platform. The project aims to apply testing to metal rods, bearings, flat and curved composite parts for the aerospace industry and jet engines rotating parts. Each type of testing based on a different manipulation principle with the probe will require a new methodical and procedural procedure, the development of test equipment, especially effectors and modularly designed software. Full automation of test equipment, higher quality of testing and higher efficiency / speed of testing are expected from the project goals.
