Deep CavityInspection System

GE Aerospace

Enhanced surface

inspection solution
Direct line of sight access with digital inspection technology. GE Aerospace’s Deep Cavity Inspection System allows a single operator to perform “Enhanced FPI Inspection” of deep cavity spools using a fully-automated system for highly repeatable, consistent results.

    No borescope, handheld mirrors, light source or pin gauge needed
    Historically, spool surfaces have been FPI- and white-light inspected with mirrors or handheld borescopes. Our system eliminates the need for these tools while also providing a full inspection report with images.

    Engine spool compatibility:
    - GE90
    - GEnx
    - CFM LEAP
    - CF34-8
    - CF6-80C2 - Passport
