Application of industrial endoscope on aircraft landing gear

Industrial endoscopes play a vital role in inspecting aircraft landing gear.The following is a detailed explanation of its inspection process.

Detection principle

An industrial endoscope is a device that uses optical principles to penetrate into narrow or difficult-to-observe spaces through a slender probe for visual inspection. It can provide high-definition images, allowing inspectors to clearly observe the conditions inside the landing gear.

Detection steps

Preparation:

Clean the area of the landing gear to be inspected and ensure that the surface is free of impurities and dirt so as to better observe the internal situation.

Select appropriate endoscope probes and accessories such as lenses, lighting devices, etc. as needed.

Insert the probe:

Insert the endoscope probe into the internal channels, connectors and other key parts of the landing gear. These parts may include key components such as gears, bearings, connecting rods, as well as fasteners and connections such as bolts, nuts, rivets, etc.

By adjusting the angle and depth of the probe, ensure that the area to be inspected is fully covered.

Observation and Recording:

Use the high-definition images of the endoscope to observe the wear degree, crack distribution, corrosion and the status of fasteners inside the landing gear.

If necessary, you can use the endoscope's photo and video functions to record key information during the inspection process for subsequent analysis and archiving.

Analysis and evaluation:

Based on the observed information, evaluate the health of the landing gear and determine whether there are potential safety hazards, such as cracks, wear, corrosion, etc.

According to the evaluation results, formulate corresponding maintenance or replacement plans to ensure the safety and reliability of the landing gear.

Detection advantages

Non-destructive testing: Industrial endoscopes use non-destructive testing methods, which will not cause secondary damage to the landing gear, ensuring the safety of the testing process.

High efficiency: Compared with traditional disassembly inspection, industrial endoscope can complete comprehensive internal inspection in a shorter time, greatly improving work efficiency.

High accuracy: The endoscope can provide high-definition images, allowing inspectors to more accurately determine the health of the landing gear.

Easy to operate: The operation of industrial endoscopes is relatively simple, and professionally trained inspectors can quickly master the use of them.

Data traceability: The inspection data recorded by the endoscope can be managed digitally, making it easier to track the use history and maintenance records of the landing gear.

Application Examples

During the long-term use of the aircraft, the landing gear may be affected by vibration, impact, corrosion and other factors, resulting in cracks or corrosion. If these problems are not discovered and handled in time, they may have a serious impact on the safety performance of the aircraft. The industrial endoscope can conduct a full-scale, no-dead-angle inspection of the landing gear, detect cracks and corrosion in time, and provide an accurate basis for subsequent maintenance work.

In summary, industrial endoscopes have significant advantages and broad application prospects when inspecting aircraft landing gear. It can not only improve inspection efficiency and accuracy, but also provide a strong guarantee for the safe flight of aircraft.
