Even the slightest fault in aircraft engines could pose a safety risk. Until now, inspectors have relied solely on their well-trained eye to unmask defects on blade-integrated disks, known as blisks. In the future, they will be supported by an automatic control system that is the first to unite geometric measurement and surface inspection. Researchers will introduce the AMI4BLISK system at Control 2015, the international trade fair for quality assurance in Stuttgart on May 5 – 8. (Hall 1, Booth 1502)
