Barfield signed an agreement with DolphiTech to distribute its new mobile advanced 3-D ultrasound cameras, which produce high-resolution images thanks to its ultrasound transducer design. The DolphiCam camera system is able to inspect carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) up to 16 mm (0.63 inches) thick, with very-high-resolution 2D and 3D images, and provides a solution to assess damage in any aircraft using carbon-fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) structures.
"The use of composite materials is increasing on aircraft, opening up the need for new advanced technologies," said DolphiTech CEO Jan Olav Endrerud. "Barfield has a significant presence worldwide and complements our strategy of distribution."
The signature of the agreement with DolphiTech "will give NDT operators easy global access to purchase a comprehensive solution to assess damages in CFRP structures, which will benefit the aerospace industry," noted Barfield CEO Johann Panier.
DolphiTech also provides solutions for team-based NDT, making inspection solutions available to non-experts.
