AERONAUTICAL AND SPACE MARKET
Whilst the name of Tecnatom has traditionally always been associated with the application of Non-destructive Tests (NDT) in the field of Nuclear Power Plants, the increasing demand in other industrial sectors for NDT engineering services with a high technological level in the development and application of inspection systems and procedures, has led to Tecnatom diversifying into other industrial areas such as the aerospace industry.
For a number of years now Tecnatom has been a national and international point of reference in the application of NDT to all kinds of industrial process requiring high levels of particularisation, automation or the application of advanced technologies, particularly in those industrial sectors where security and intensive quality control are a requirement and inexcusable element of added value.
![]() Added to the experience acquired in the control of metals (steels and aluminium) and concrete, work in the aerospace sector has led to the incorporation of tests carried out on materials with varying kinds of carbon fibre and components made with titanium by means of superplastic moulding.
In this sense, Tecnatom carries out all the activities which correspond to inspection engineering in the aeronautical sector, the final results of which are the automatic inspection systems and the corresponding inspection procedures designed to comply with the specifications laid down by the client. The main activities in this process are:
It is important to point out that aeronautical components can be characterised by their complex and twisted geometry, in contrast to other components in the industry which are generally revolving bodies. Consequently, the development of computer programs to enable complex trajectories of the inspection axes to be executed and the development of electronic controllers is a fundamental aspect in the technological development associated with the aeronautical components.The description of the inspection systems supplied in the aeronautical sector can be seen in the corresponding technical files: COMPOSITE, TEMUS, BAT and MIDAS in the sections Mechanical Inspection Systems and Data Acquisition and Evaluation Systems on the web site.
