Unitech Composites Expands Capabilities with Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI) Solutions
Posted: 2012-5-15
Unitech Composites and Structures, a member of the AGC Composites Group,
has announced investment in Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI) equipment to
streamline and accelerate its production and inspection processes. The
introduction of in-house NDI enhances the scope of capabilities that it can offer
to meet customer demand derived from the proliferation of composites in
aircraft production.
"We continue to broaden our manufacturing capabilities so that we can provide
complete business solutions to our customers, and the addition of the MISTRAS
ultrasonic NDI System is will enhance our inspection service capabilities", said
Rick Hundley, President of Unitech Composites and Structures. "This system
will allow us to perform ultrasonic inspection of composite parts in-house,
reducing lead times and allowing Unitech to better serve our customers."
"Many structural composite parts require 100% instrumental NDI," Hundley
added. "The capability of this modified immersion scanning system allows us to
continue to focus and improve our efforts on meeting future demand as rate
production on programs like the Boeing 787 and the Airbus A-350 increase."
Unitech designs and manufactures composite structures in commercial and
military aerospace markets. The company maintains continued commitment to
innovation, quality, and flexibility towards the requirements of individual
airlines and OEMs. Unitech operates within the Composites Group of AGC
Aerospace & Defense.
