ROLLS-ROYCE, the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star) and two local enterprises have jointly developed a new technology that automates part of an inspection process in jet engine manufacturing.
System integrators Zincode Technologies and Sysmatic Global worked with Rolls-Royce and A*Star at the latter's Advanced Remanufacturing and Technology Centre (ARTC) on the solution, which uses an array of cameras and specialised lighting to capture detailed images of jet engine fan blades.
An integrated software algorithm then examines the images for minute hairline defects and highlights them on a computer screen for trained inspectors to assess.
