Radalytica has announced RadalyX, a next-generation robotic system for nondestructive testing (NDT) of composite materials and aircraft structures. Designed for precision inspections, RadalyX combines 2D X-ray scanning, 3D computed tomography (CT), and laser surface profiling, enabling manufacturers to detect microcracks, delaminations, and other defects crucial for aircraft safety.
The system, equipped with photon-counting detectors (PCDs), offers high-resolution imaging with reduced energy consumption, allowing sharper and material-specific results. Its dual-robot design ensures flexibility, enabling inspections of large aircraft components on-site, even with robots positioned inside and outside the structure simultaneously.
"Our goal is to develop a multifunctional Swiss army knife that allows imaging a wide range of materials under various conditions," said Josef Uher, Radalytica’s CTO.
The portable system supports additional inspection techniques, including X-ray diffraction, eddy currents, and surface imaging, making it a versatile solution for aerospace manufacturing, maintenance, and beyond. By enabling faster, more efficient inspections, RadalyX significantly reduces downtime while enhancing safety and quality standards.
Radalytica is collaborating with leading aircraft manufacturers to integrate RadalyX into daily operations and is exploring remote inspection capabilities for global maintenance solutions.
