Aerospace / Defense

From large-scale automated systems for missiles and space vehicles, to easy-to-use handheld units for on-aircraft inspection.  TWI solutions cover the full spectrum of aerospace NDT.

Power Generation

Our systems are used by leading OEMs for precise, repeatable (and in some cases, fully automated) measurement of turbine hot section blades, vanes and other components.

Manufacturing / QA

TWI systems offer unrivaled speed, efficiency and sensitivity for thermography, and have proven to be a cost-effective alternative to ultrasonic inspection, used in automated, semi-automated and 24/7 applications.

TSR^®

Since we first introduced Thermographic Signal Reconstruction in 2001 it has become the most widely used signal processing method for industrial IR NDT applications, frequently cited for improved depth range, sensitivity and measurement, used in advanced automated defect recognition and AI as well as handheld NDT for maintenance.

Flash Truncation

Most flash lamps used in IR NDT are designed for photography and have a long (~30 msec) IR afterglow that briefly saturates the IR camera, complicating NDE of metals and coatings.  We developed a system that actually shortens the flash pulse, delivering the maximum amount of energy in the shortest time, significantly improving the measurement capability of IR NDE.

Large Area NDT

Once you’ve shown that IR NDT works on a small test sample, how do you go about applying it to a real part that may require 100s of individual shots and many GB of data?  The reality is that for many, stitching and analyzing data can take much longer than acquiring it.  We’ve been providing large scale solutions for years and have developed proven, award-winning technology that reduces IR NDT inspection time by as much as 75%.
