Non-Destructive Testing Using Thermal X-Ray

C-CheckIR enables reliable, non-destructive inspection of composite materials directly on-site – mobile, user-friendly, and without the need for extensive training. Using active thermography, the system detects delaminations, water ingress, or disbonds in just seconds. Simply position the lightweight inspection head, start the measurement, and view clear, image-based results.

Measuring Principle

Detecting Hidden Defects with Active Thermography

Active thermography, as a method of non-destructive testing, makes it possible to quickly and reliably detect hidden defects such as cracks or delaminations. For this purpose, the component is stimulated and heated by an external energy source. An infrared camera then records the temperature distribution on the surface, which is influenced by irregularities within the material. This results in high-contrast images that enable precise quality control – contact-free, efficient, and without causing any damage to the component.

The AT Product

C-CheckIR: Mobile System for Active Thermography

C-CheckIR is a portable system from AT Sensors for non-destructive testing with active thermography. It enables the detection of defects such as delaminations, water inclusions, and debondings in composite structures. The system complies with DIN 54192 and is approved for use in established aircraft inspection procedures (e.g. Airbus NTM 55-40-50, Boeing 737 NDT 51-00-04 and 53-30-01).

The inspection head is mounted on a lightweight frame that is simply placed on the component. Control is carried out via a tablet PC with a user-friendly interface. Predefined parameters for CFRP and GFRP are included, and can be adjusted as required.

An Overview of AT Sensors’ Three NDT Solutions

C-CheckIR

Universal NDT System for Composites in Every Industry

C-CheckIR Professional is a compact inspection kit for non-destructive testing with active thermography. Its robust design with lightweight frame and vacuum suction feet allows flexible use on both horizontal and vertical surfaces.

Controlled via a tablet PC with an intuitive interface, the system combines a highly sensitive infrared camera with an adaptive heat source to capture precise temperature distributions and reliably detect defects such as delaminations or water ingress.

With modular hardware and software options, C-CheckIR Professional can be configured for a wide range of applications – from certified aerospace procedures to the inspection of wind turbine components, automotive structures, or marine parts.

IRGecko

Certified NDT Solution for Aviation

With IRGecko, AT delivers a version of C-CheckIR that is purpose-built for aviation. It fully complies with Airbus NTM 55-40-50 for SRM repairs and can be easily upgraded to meet future standards.

This specialized system goes beyond Airbus: it also supports multiple testing procedures from both Airbus and Boeing, including the reliable detection of trapped water and disbondings. IRGecko gives maintenance teams a flexible, certified tool to ensure safety and efficiency in aircraft inspection.

Thermography Kit

Reliable Moisture Detection for Aircraft Structures

The Thermography Kit complements AT Sensors’ product portfolio as the third NDT solution alongside C-CheckIR Professional and IRGecko. It is specifically designed for the reliable detection of trapped water and ice inclusions in aircraft structures. By gently heating the component, moisture accumulations become quickly visible with an infrared camera.

Optimized for several Airbus and Boeing procedures, the kit provides a practical solution for aircraft maintenance. Packed in a robust transport case, it is ideal for mobile use – safe, flexible, and always ready for operation.
