Application of X-ray image radiography system for aircraft
Abstract
Water entrapment in a honeycomb assembly is generally detected by means of X-ray film method in the maintenance phase. Nowadays, much improvement and lower cost of digital image processing systems accelerates wide use of them in NDI. The Kawasaki Image Radiography Inspection System (K-IRIS) consists of digital image processor, digital controlled X-ray equipment, and a 10-axis teaching playback mechanism. K-IRIS shows its remarkable ability to detect water entrapment and to reduce much inspection time compared with the ordinary film method.
