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

Reliable Insight Beneath the Surface

Active thermography is an effective method for non-destructive testing of several materials. This technique detects not only smallest defects on surfaces, but also structural defects or air bullets under the component surface. Contrary to other inspection methods, thermographic solutions are well-suited for inspections of latest materials like composite materials (GFK/CFK).

The AT Product

Mobile NDT Systems for Maintenance

The mobile inspection system called C-CheckIR uses active thermography for the reliable detection of delaminations, water inclusions, debondings, etc. in composite materials. C-CheckIR fulfills the requirements of DIN 54192 for Non-destructive testing with active thermography and is suitable for several aircraft testing procedures (e.g. Airbus NTM 55-40-50 or Boeing procedure 737 NDT, part 9, 51-00-04, 53-30-01). ).

C-CheckIR is easy to operate and does not require any extensive training.

The complete inspection head of C-CheckIR is mounted on a light support frame that only needs to be placed at the right position on the object to be inspected.

The system is controlled from a handy tablet-PC through a very intuitive user interface.

For the most common materials, such as CRP or GRP, C-CheckIR already features pre-set inspection parameters, so that the operator can start measuring right away. Of course, the inspection parameters can be easily adjusted if required.

The NDT Solution for Aviation

In addition to the universal C-CheckIR professional kit, AT offers a dedicated version tailored to meet all requirements of the Airbus NTM 55-40-50 procedure for SRM repairs. Naturally, this version of C-CheckIR can be easily upgraded to support future testing procedures.

Configuration options for several aircraft testing procedures available, e.g.:

SRM-Repairs, Airbus NTM 55-40-50
Trapped water, Airbus NTMs 51-10-25, 55-40-02, 55-20-08, 55-20-11
Trapped water, Boeing procedure 737 NDT, part 9, 51-00-01
Disbondigs, Boeing procedure 737 NDT, part 9, 51-00-04, 53-30-01

Thermography-Kit for detection of trapped water

Efficient Inspection Solution for Aircraft Structures

Many aircraft inspections can be carried out using standard infrared scans. Large accumulations of water or ice inclusions become visible when the component is gently heated using a hot-air unit. To support this, AT offers a specialized inspection kit optimized for several Airbus test procedures (e.g., NTM 55-40-50). All components are securely packed in a robust transport case for safe and convenient field use.
