3D Phase Measurement TechnologyThe 3D Phase Measurement is a new approach to video borescope measurement in aerospace and rotating equipment applications. The new measurement technology enables inspectors to both view and measure a defect using a single tip optic,eliminating the extra steps required to back out, change the tip and then relocate the defect. In effect, 3D Phase Measurementprovides accurate measurement “on-demand” while saving time and increasing overall inspection productivity. The XLG3 VideoProbe with 3D Phase Measurement is one of the most advanced and technically powerful visual inspection tools available.The 3D Phase Measurement combined with the XLG3 creates a 3D surface scan of the viewing area and can measure allaspects of surface indications using a 3D scan. The probe creates a new type of measurement called Profile View, a cross section view of the surface, allowing inspectors to better visualize the shape and characteristics of an indication and make a wellinformed decision on the serviceability of the asset.Owners of XLG3 systems can enhance their initial equipment investment as 3D Phase Measurement probes and optical tipscan be used with existing equipment. Current owners can add Phase Measurement probes and tips to their existing equipment, or choose to purchase additional XLG3 systems with Phase Measurement components.Depth ProfileProfile ViewPoint Cloud with Color Depth Map of Tear in Turbine BladePoint Cloud of Tear in Turbine Blade
