Dantec Dynamics, based in Holtsville, N.Y., is showcasing its cutting-edge laser shearography nondestructive testing (NDT) and digital image correlation (DIC) devices. Among the highlighted products are the FlawHunter NDT system, FlawExplorer, and MulticamDIC.
Laser shearography NDT is an optical measurement technique designed for inspecting composite materials, including laminates, honeycombs, sandwiches, bonded and coated components, rubber, spray foams, and sealants. This technique offers high inspection rates, minimal sample preparation times, and straightforward automation.
DIC, another optical noncontact measurement technique, is utilized to determine shape, displacement, and strain for experimental solid mechanics applications in materials testing. Additionally, DIC can measure kinematic quantities such as rotations, velocities, and accelerations of discrete points.
The FlawHunter NDT system is an integrated inspection device equipped with a high-resolution laser shearography sensor and a vacuum excitation system. It features an ergonomic design with a workflow-oriented GUI display and left/right-hand button control, ensuring ease of use. The FlawHunter delivers reliable and precise measurement results for both in-field service NDT and post-production quality control operations.
The FlawExplorer is a laser shearography NDT sensor tailored for post-production quality control and in-field component inspections. Depending on the application, it can be configured with thermal or vacuum excitation systems and can be automated. The sensor incorporates phase-shifting technology, providing accurate and reliable measurements with clear and sharp imaging at sub-micrometer displacement resolution.
The MulticamDIC is a stereo-rig array DIC measurement system comprising four to sixteen USB3 or GigE cameras. This system enables testing engineers to perform large-scale and complex surface testing of sub-components and structures.
Dantec Dynamics is demonstrating the combined use of the FlawExplorer Laser Shearography NDT and DIC systems for an internal pressure test of a composite-overwrapped pressure vessel (COPV). This integrated approach highlights the capabilities of their advanced noncontact inspection technologies in optimizing composite material assessments.
