AerospaceMaximize PerformanceTimely and efficient inspections keep aircraft flying. Whethercompleting a turbine engine inspection, measuring a bladedefect, capturing and storing images, or looking for wear, corrosion or cracks on an airframe, the Inspection TechnologiesXLG3 system delivers sharp, clear images needed to quicklyidentify and measure defects to determine air-worthiness.Interchangeable ProbesThe Inspection Technologies XLG3 system features interchangeable QuickChange probes that quickly reconfigure tomeet aircraft maintenance manual requirements for probediameter and length.3D Phase Measurement TechnologyThe 3D Phase Measurement increases efficiency in aerospaceand rotating equipment applications. This 3D technology provides an accurate 3 dimensional surface scan allowing measurement of all aspects of surface indications. Using a singleprobe tip, inspectors can both view and measure a defect,saving time and increasing overall inspection productivity. Thiseliminates the extra steps required to back out, change the tipand then relocate the defect. In effect, 3D Phase Measurementprovides accurate measurement "on-demand" while simplifying the inspection process.Measurement or Remote CollaborationUse 3D phase, stereo or shadow measurement techniques onthe XLG3 system or in a remote office. With its ability to manage inspection data and capture, store and transmit imagesvia Internet*, the Inspection Technologies XLG3 system enablesreal-time communications between inspectors and remoteteam members.Versatile Features for Aerospace Interchangeable probes and multi-probe kits Bright, crisp images for fast defect identification 3D phase, stereo and shadow measurement Upload to a network for remote confirmation* Integral battery/UPS option for flight line use** Optional featureBorescope adapter to integrate user’s current rigid and flexible borescope.Inspection Technologies XLG3 VideoProbe5

ProcessReduce DowntimeWhen plant equipment is idled for refractory lining inspection,in-service weld inspection, and ongoing maintenance,timely inspection is vital to resume operations. The InspectionTechnologies XLG3 system streamlines inspection to get systems up and running quickly.Setting up and searching for power drops and routing cordscan take longer than the actual inspection. Report-writingback in the office can also consume hours each day. TheInspection Technologies XLG3 system with optional batterypower eliminates the need for worksite power. And with realtime DVD writing and portable workstation features, reportscan be generated during the inspection.The Inspection Technologies XLG3 system gets you up andworking quickly and QuickChange probes allow you tochange probe diameter and length in the field to meet varyinginspection demands. The 3D Phase Measurement enablesboth inspection and measurement without changing opticaltips, saving time and increasing overall inspection productivity.Sophisticated Yet Easy to UseAn on-screen, drop-down menu guides the user through thesystem’s versatile options.On-Board File ManagerThe file manager lets you create, move and store filesbetween folders in internal or external memory.Versatile Features for Process Intuitive and easy to use High-resolution, wide VGA LCD screen Portable Up and running quicklyInspection Technologies XLG3 VideoProbe7
