Development of a flexible, multi-element eddy current array probe for automated 3D surface : Phase 1

This research project, a partnership between UQTR and TecScan, focuses on developing a flexible, multi-element eddy current sensor array that can adapt to complex geometries to improve the accuracy of non-destructive testing. This sensor is designed to scan surfaces with varied shapes, addressing the requirements of the aerospace sector. TecScan, specializing in non-destructive testing technologies, faces the challenge of ensuring accurate and consistent measurements without relying on skilled operators. The project involves designing printed coils on flexible substrates, tested for durability and sensitivity, to provide reliable structural monitoring of critical parts. A successful outcome in this phase could lead to further research and a long-term partnership, strengthening TecScan’s position and expanding its industrial applications.
