Achieving high-speed inspection rates for complex composite parts requires versatile, integrated systems that meet the challenges of automated part handling and non-destructive (NDT) for ship sets that can include hundreds of different parts. This paper presents cost-effective integrated solutions that are being succesfully used to inspect composite parts for fully-automated aerospace applications. The most appropriate solution for a given ship set depends on factors that include detection and sizing requirements, the range of part sizes and geometries, the required inspection speed and costs constraints.
