CICNDT Leadership Embarks on Advanced Training in Austria
In our continued commitment to excellence and staying at the forefront of non-destructive testing (NDT) technology, CICNDT is proud to announce that our CEO, Mr. Jeremy Heinks, and the CICNDT Senior Principal NDT Level 3 Specialist, Mr. Oscar Balandran, will be traveling to Austria for detailed Photothermal Tomography Training. They will meet with voidsy gmbh in Wels, Austria, to receive in-depth training on the revolutionary 3D V-ROX Photothermal Tomography system.
Purpose of the Trip
A detailed view of the voidsy logo on the 3D V-ROX Photothermal Tomography system, featured in CICNDT’s Photothermal Tomography Training in Austria.
The primary purpose of this visit is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the 3D V-ROX system, an innovative NDT technology that allows for the precise detection and quantification of defects within composite materials. This system represents the latest advancement in photothermal tomography, offering unparalleled accuracy in inspecting complex structures used in critical industries such as aerospace, wind energy, and automotive.
Mr. Heinks and Mr. Balandran’s training will include hands-on experience with the 3D V-ROX system, focusing on its applications in real-world scenarios. They will be working closely with the engineers and experts at voidsy gmbh, delving into the system’s technical specifications, operational capabilities, and practical applications. This training is a key step in ensuring that CICNDT can fully leverage this cutting-edge technology to benefit our clients.
Enhancing CICNDT’s NDT Capabilities
The integration of the 3D V-ROX system into CICNDT’s service offerings will significantly enhance our ability to deliver precise inspections of composite materials, ensuring the safety and integrity of critical components.
For example, in industries like chemical engineering and seawater desalination, the system excels at detecting delamination in roll clad plates, where layers can separate, leading to failures, as well as in aluminum honeycomb core structures found in a diverse variety of civil-military aircraft with which CICNDT is heavily involved. The 3D V-ROX provides a cost-effective solution to identify these issues early in the manufacturing process, improving quality control.
The system’s ability to detect stress-related defects, such as those caused by wave impact in jet ski hulls, highlights its broader applicability. This same approach can be applied to the assessment of aviation composites after flights, either as part of scheduled inspections or following airframe overstress events. Similarly, wind farm blades subjected to major weather events can be evaluated using the 3D V-ROX system, a form of a dimensional method , allowing owners to guarantee the integrity of their assets and prevent catastrophic failures.
Mr. Heinks and Mr. Balandran are committed to integrating this advanced knowledge into CICNDT’s NDT services, further strengthening our position as industry leaders.
A Strategic Partnership
Our partnership with voidsy gmbh is rooted in our shared vision of advancing NDT technologies and methodologies. This visit to Austria represents a deepening of that partnership, as both companies work together to push the boundaries of what is possible in the field of non-destructive testing. The 3D V-ROX system, with its ability to provide 3D visualizations of defects within composite structures, is a testament to the innovation that this partnership continues to foster.
Committed to Innovation and Excellence
At CICNDT, we believe that staying ahead in the rapidly evolving field of NDT requires continuous learning and adaptation. This trip to Austria is a reflection of our dedication to maintaining the highest standards of quality and safety in our inspections. By investing in the latest technology and ensuring that our team is equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to utilize it effectively, we are reaffirming our commitment to our clients and the industries we serve.
Looking Ahead
We are excited about the opportunities that this technology from voidsy GmbH will bring to our clients and its role in shaping the future of non-destructive testing. This advanced system, along with our key technologies from Dantec and Pragma, strengthens our inspection methodologies and techniques. Stay tuned for updates on how CICNDT will be utilizing this new capability, alongside our existing tools, to further enhance our service offerings and continue leading the way in NDT innovation.
