VSNDT Industrial borescope application for aircraft engine blades

As a key component of an aircraft engine, the performance and safety of aircraft blades are crucial to the entire flight process.Using  industrial endoscope to inspect aircraft blades is an efficient, non-destructive and accurate inspection method. The following is a detailed analysis of the inspection process:

Detection background and importance

Aircraft engine blades operate in extreme working environments (such as high temperature, high pressure, high-speed rotation, etc.) and are easily affected by various factors, such as corrosion, wear, cracks, etc. If these defects are not discovered and handled in time, they will seriously affect the performance and life of the engine and may even cause flight accidents. Therefore, regular inspection of aircraft engine blades to ensure their performance and safety is an important part of aviation maintenance and repair work.

Advantages of Industrial Borescope

Visual inspection: The industrial endoscope can penetrate deep into the engine blades, capture subtle changes on the blade surface in real time, and intuitively display the internal and surface conditions of the blades on the screen, which is convenient for inspection personnel to observe and analyze.

Non-destructive inspection: During the inspection process, the endoscope does not need to disassemble the engine blades, and will not cause any damage or damage to the blades, reducing the inspection cost and time.

High-precision inspection: The endoscope is equipped with a high-resolution camera and advanced image processing technology, which can detect tiny cracks, wear and other defects on the blades, and improve the accuracy of inspection.

Strong adaptability: The probe of the endoscope can be customized according to the shape and size of the blade to meet the inspection needs of engine blades of different models and specifications.

Inspection process and methods

Preparation:

Select appropriate endoscope probes and light sources to ensure that the equipment is in good working condition.

Perform necessary cleaning and pretreatment on the aircraft engine blades to remove dirt and impurities on the surface to improve the detection effect.

Detection operation:

Insert the endoscope probe into the engine blade or close to the blade surface, and observe the internal and surface conditions of the blade by rotating and moving the probe.

The inspector needs to carefully observe the image on the screen and pay attention to defects such as cracks, wear, corrosion, and carbon deposits on the blade.

Use the measurement function of the endoscope to accurately measure the size and shape of the blade to determine whether it meets the design requirements.

Data analysis and judgment:

Analyze and process the detected images and measurement data, and combine factors such as the material, working environment, and service life of the blade to comprehensively judge whether the performance and safety of the blade meet the requirements.

If defects or problems are found in the blade, they need to be recorded in time and corresponding repair and maintenance plans should be formulated.

Record and report:

Record the test results and prepare a detailed test report. The report should include the inspection date, inspection personnel, inspection equipment, inspection process, inspection results and conclusions.

Submit the test report to relevant departments and personnel so that they can understand the performance and safety status of the engine blades and take appropriate measures to ensure flight safety.

Detection effect and significance

Industrial endoscopes can detect defects and problems on aircraft engine blades in a timely manner, providing a strong basis for subsequent repair and maintenance work. This can not only ensure the flight safety of the aircraft, but also extend the service life of the blades and reduce maintenance costs. At the same time, this detection method also has the advantages of simple operation, fast detection speed, and accurate detection results. It is an indispensable and important tool in aviation repair and maintenance work.
