Portland, OR 3/10/2025 – Ruckus Composites and Ruckus Aerospace are kicking off the new year with major technology upgrades, expanding our precision machining, measurement, and ultrasound inspection capabilities. These investments mark a new era of in-house manufacturing and quality control, allowing us to push the limits of composite repair, aerospace inspection, and high-performance part production.
As demand for advanced composite inspection and precision machining grows, we’re committed to staying ahead with the latest tools. Our newest additions include:
-
Immersion Phased Array Ultrasound 3-Axis XYZ Scanner – High-resolution scanning for detecting barely visible impact damage (BVID) and internal defects in composite structures.
-
Immersion Phased Array Ultrasound Tube Scanner – Specialized inspection for cylindrical composite components, ensuring flawless structural integrity.
-
Hurco VMONE Vertical Machining Center – A powerful CNC milling solution for rapid prototyping and precision component manufacturing.
-
Prototrak Toolroom CNC Lathe – Enhancing our ability to produce custom parts with tight tolerances.
-
Faro Arm CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) – Bringing metrology-grade accuracy to our inspection processes, ensuring every part meets the highest standards.
With these new tools in-house, we can now:
-
Streamline our repair and manufacturing process, reducing lead times and improving turnaround.
-
Expand our inspection capabilities, offering non-destructive evaluation (NDE) with increased precision.
-
Support more complex projects, from aerospace structural health monitoring to high-performance cycling component refinement.
-
Enhance our data-driven approach, ensuring every repair, component, and inspection is backed by the most advanced measurement techniques available.
