XL Assembly designs and manufactures fully automated ultrasonic non-destructive testing cells for gas and aerospace turbine manufacturers — combining precision robotics with reliable UT technology.
Automating UT measurements since 2018:
A Rolls Royce company
Our inspection cells handle the entire NDT workflow — from robotic component loading and automated path planning to UT scanning, defect analysis, and traceable digital reporting.
Our software imports CAD geometry (GOM/Zeiss/3D data source) and automatically computes collision-free scan trajectories tailored to each turbine component — exactly as in your part specification.
The robot uses a 20 MHz transducer to provide detailed wall thickness measurements on complex freeform surfaces. No immersion, a water squirter based sensor is used.
Every scan is stored with full audit trail. Automated PDF, XML, Excel or database output for your specific acceptance criteria.
A wide range of turbine components can be inspected in the same cell.
Our path planning allows to handle complex geometries with ease.
From compact to extra large measurement volume — scaled for every turbine size and throughput requirement.
Compact Automation Solution for Small Components
Ideal for small turbine blades. The InspectCell S delivers full ultrasound coverage in a compact footprint, perfect for high-volume production environments.
Mid-range flexible Inspection Cell
Designed for medium-sized gas turbine vanes. The InspectCell M combines high-throughput scanning for complex multi-vane geometries.
Heavy-duty Inspection Cell for Large Components
Built for large power-generation turbines. The InspectCell XL integrates directly into the Zeiss/GOM Atos 3D metrology system.
