Olympus Solutions for Aerospace

During the manufacturing and maintenance of aircraft, critical components are inspected to check that they are operating correctly. Inspectors must be familiar with multiple nondestructive technologies, so having equipment that’s versatile and easy to use is important.

From checking the integrity of aircrafts’ aluminum skin with eddy current flaw detectors to using phased array technology for full volumetric inspection of complex composite parts to looking inside jet engines for cracks and other flaws using remote visual inspection videoscopes, our technology helps inspectors keep aircraft operating safely.
