Aviation MRO and Engine Inspection

MRO technicians use the AIT K Series to inspect PT6 turbine engines, CFM56 combustion chambers, CF34 compressor stages, and APU internals — checking turbine blades for FOD, tip rubs, trailing edge tears, and oxidation damage, and compressor blades for erosion, nicks, and cracks. The 360° motorized articulation on 6mm and 8mm probes steers to any blade face without withdrawing and repositioning the probe between stages.

Power Generation — Gas Turbines and Rotating Equipment

Power generation maintenance teams use the AIT K Series to inspect turbine hot-gas paths, first-stage blades, compressor sections, and transition pieces on Solar Turbine Taurus, Titan, and Mars series engines — as well as GE Frame turbines, boiler tubes, steam piping, and gearbox internals during planned outages. The motor-driven articulation maintains precise tip control through the tortuous access paths of hot-section inspection ports, and the high-temperature warning system protects the probe during inspections where residual heat remains in the section. Five-step LED illumination handles the contrast variations between cooled blade surfaces and soot-coated combustion hardware.

Defense and Military Equipment

Defense maintenance teams use the AIT K Series to inspect weapon barrel bores for erosion and rifling wear, launch tube interiors, power-train internals on armored vehicles, and critical welds and joints on military hardware. The titanium alloy housing handles field conditions, and the hot-swap battery system keeps the instrument operational through extended maintenance cycles without access to facility power. Probe diameters from 1mm accommodate the narrowest access ports on aerospace and ground vehicle components without modification.

Manufacturing and Quality Assurance

Manufacturing QA teams use the AIT K Series to inspect weld seams on tanks and pressure vessels, welded and brazed tube bundles in heat exchangers, and internal passages in complex fabricated assemblies before final acceptance. The multiple measurement modes let QA technicians document weld geometry, cavity dimensions, and surface conditions directly on captured images — generating a formatted report from the instrument without returning to a workstation. Probes from 1mm to 8mm cover casting cores, machined bores, valve seats, and internal passages that vary across part families.

Metal Castings and Precision Components

Foundries and precision machining operations use the AIT K Series for final QA of cast housings, gearboxes, pump bodies, and turbine castings — verifying internal surface finish, checking for porosity or inclusion defects, and confirming that cooling passages and oil galleries are clear and correctly formed. Side-view and dual-view probes inspect radial features and cross-passages that forward-view cameras cannot reach without repositioning.

Energy Infrastructure and Industrial Maintenance

Industrial maintenance teams at refineries, chemical plants, and power facilities use the AIT K Series to inspect fired heater tubes, boiler internals, heat exchanger tube bundles, and rotating equipment during scheduled maintenance windows. The 30m maximum probe reach covers long heat exchanger tube runs from a single insertion point, and the modular probe system allows technicians to switch between tube sizes across the same inspection without carrying multiple instruments. Gearbox internals, pump casings, and compressor valve passages are accessible through the 3.8mm to 8mm probe range.
