Royal Uses Time Reversal Inspection Technology

Royal Engineered Composites, Inc. (Minden, NE) is the first North American aerospace composites company to add “time reversal” technology to their nondestructive inspection capabilities. This “time reversal” technology, as it is called by Zetec, Inc. (Snoqualmie, WA), utilizes a unique phase array ultrasonic technology to vastly improve efficiency and flexibility for inspection solutions.

Royal continues to position itself as a leader in technology for the future and for growth. This forward look keeps the company’s employee owners advancing into new opportunities and positions every day while creating a consistent need for new employee owners to join the team, with projected growth that includes many new jobs over the next 12 months, all with development and growth opportunities in an ownership culture.

This ownership culture is a key to the company’s continued success, and their location in rural Nebraska has served them well in the past . . . and will into the future. Royal enjoys the “ownership” mentality of the Midwest environment as they continue to grow into the ever expanding aerospace composites market with values of honesty, performance, growth, teamwork and respect for the individual that are lived out each day in unique ways that benefit employee owners and their highly valued customers.

The company’s investment in this technology will allow them to support structural composite fabrication. Royal is under contract to provide such structural components to a Tier One supplier for a composite-intensive commercial aircraft. Zetec’s innovative approach has completely redefined the potential of phased array UT technology with this approach.  This inspection system will help Royal fully exploit the capabilities of phased array ultrasonic technology to perform more efficient and reliable inspections.
