A1610 Bondvisor (Special Application)

The main application field of the  BondVisor is the non-destructive testing of laminated components and bondings.

BondVisor is a handheld instrument for detecting delaminations and other material defects by manual scanning of the inspection area. Changes of the mechanical impedance created by defects and imperfections in laminated materials and honeycomb structures. The coupling of the sensor is done dry without coupling liquid. The constant pressure of the spring-loaded sensor guarantees stable and reliable indications.

Special Features

• Rapid start: new operators do not need extensive training
• Easy calibration: in-field automatic sensor calibration on the inspection object
• Stable and reliable operation on rough / uneven surfaces due to spring-loaded sensor design
• Customized sensor design for specific material combinations can be provided on bilateral agreement basis

Application

The instrument is applicable for following materials and material combinations:

– Multilayered laminates
– Fiber-laminate materials
– Laminate-honeycomb bonding
– Laminate-metal bolding
– Metal-metal bonding
– Metal soldering
– Metal-feltmetal brazing
– Foams (hard and soft)
– Wood laminates

Possible sources of material defects:

– Impact damages by foreign objects
– Hail & lightning strikes
– Loss of strength caused by heat
– Thickness variations
– Osmosis damages of fiberglass boats
