I've noticed that operators and inspection workers often realize upon first meeting collaborative robots (cobots) that they aren't replacements for human labor. Instead, cobots signal a shift from traditional automation in quality and inspection, providing distinct advantages over traditional robots.

Aerospace components, varying in shape, size, and material, require specialized inspection methods to ensure quality and safety due to the diverse manufacturing processes involved. Automated Ultrasonic Testing (UT) systems enhance efficiency and defect detection, but effective scanner control, inspection planning, and results analysis are essential to maximize their benefits.

Bonding Lines: How Good Is Good?
