Deep Cavity
Inspection System
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
