The problem
Manual inspection cannot keep pace with safety-critical assets.
Hidden defects create operational risk, compliance gaps, and costly delays. Slow, expert-dependent inspection becomes hard to scale across large assets and distributed sites.
Slow and inconsistent
Expert-dependent
Hard to scale
No digital traceability
Our solution
A portable, non-contact path from optical data to inspection decisions.
Ultrasonic excitation
Defect intelligence
Real-time reporting
Technology
Two complementary laser interferometric methods.
Both techniques measure surface deformations on the order of nanometers as a part is subjected to a controlled stress. Subsurface defects create local variations in stiffness, producing characteristic deformation patterns that are imaged in real time or post-processed for analysis.
Shearography
Speckle Pattern Shearing Interferometry
A robust, vibration-tolerant method suited to larger structures and production environments. A laser illuminates the test surface, creating a speckle pattern that is optically sheared so light from neighboring points interferes. Images captured before and after a controlled load reveal the gradient of out-of-plane displacement — highlighting local weaknesses caused by defects.
Key characteristics
- Non-contact and non-contaminating
- Insensitive to rigid-body motion and vibration
- Large fields of view, high throughput
- Effective on composites, sandwich panels, bonded structures
Common stressing methods
- Thermal (IR heating)
- Vacuum / pressure
- Vibration / acoustic
- Mechanical loading
Typical use cases
Aerospace structures, marine composites, wind-energy components.
Digital Holography
Full-field wavefront interferometry
Records the full complex wavefront of laser light reflected from the test object by interfering it with a reference beam on a high-resolution camera sensor. Comparing holograms taken under different load states yields highly detailed, quantitative maps of surface displacement — ideal for smaller, precision components.
Key characteristics
- Very high spatial resolution and sensitivity
- Excellent for complex geometries and tightly bonded parts
- Often paired with ultrasonic excitation
- Runs on vibration-isolated setups for maximum stability
Typical applications
- Turbine engine seals & shrouds
- Medical implant devices
- Microelectronic packaging
- Precision bonded assemblies
