eFit Handheld:
The handheld eFit scanner is the only 3D scanner in the world that captures the true geometry of the human ear which in-turn produces the optimum custom hearing aid, industrial hearing protection device, and in-ear monitor device – fit, comfort, attenuation and fidelity. An in-ear custom device is a new product class which captures all the headphone benefits and eliminates all the negatives.

The reason why this new custom product class does not exist today is because 3D scanning an ear is extremely difficult due to the ear canal bending, having wax, hair, liquid, and with no available light because ear canals are pitch black dark inside. Every ear is different, ears are like snowflakes, so fit and comfort are very difficult attributes to acquire.

Consumers claim the devices created by the eFit scanner fit so well that when they wear the in-ear devices they cannot feel them, the in-ear device is like an extension of their bodies.  The true geometry of the ear also provides the optimum attenuation or seal which prevents induced hearing loss. The optimum fidelity is created because the 3D scan points the receiver directly to the tympanic membrane (ear drum) and exactly where the tympanic membrane is angled. This directional sound also allows the listener a much safer listening experience due to being able to listen to the music at a much lower decibel level.

Aeroscan – Handheld:
The Aeroscan is a non-contact, objective, technical advancement in modern air vehicle hole inspection and measurement and saves OEM’s, suppliers, and integrators millions a dollars a year through reduced inspection time and by the elimination of rework while improving quality.

Within seconds the one-size fits all holes handheld Aeroscan 3D scanner takes a series of precise hole measurements (diameter, countersink diameter, countersink depth, grip length, perpendicularity, mixed material stacks of any arrangement) and images that are within 2.5 microns of accuracy and repeatability. The Hand-held Aeroscan also enables hole-diagnostics such as defect identification, drill life assessment, gap/crack detection, and a reduction of gapped fasteners and destack.

Any hole inspector can use the Hand-held Aeroscan device which weighs less than 3 pounds and can inspect holes in any environment or position. Upon measuring the hole, the inspector is simply notified that the hole is “good” or “bad.” The images of the holes and diagnostics, which are stored on the tablet that is carried by the inspector, can then downloaded for use by production or research and technology. The Hand-held Aeroscan finally offers integrators a complete inspection solution which can be used to re-inspect the “bad” holes identified by the Automated Aeroscan in a multi-function end-effector (drill, inspect, and fill) without having to move the end-effector back to the hole.

Aeroscan – Automated:
The Aeroscan is a non-contact, objective, technical advancement in modern air vehicle hole inspection and measurement and saves OEM’s, suppliers, and integrators millions a dollars a year through reduced inspection time and by the elimination of rework while improving quality.

OEM’s, suppliers, and integrators can now use their multi-function end effectors to sequentially drill, inspect and fill with fasteners within seconds. There is no more waiting for inspectors to inspect the hole by hand before a fastener is filled into the hole. The Automated Aeroscan can be integrated or retrofitted into any commercially available end-effector. The United Sciences integration team will work to integrate the Automated Aeroscan hardware and software into the end effectors or drill heads in the least disruptive way possible.

After integration the one size fits all holes Automated Aeroscan 3D scanner takes a series of precise hole measurements (diameter, countersink diameter, countersink depth, grip length, perpendicularity, mixed material stacks of any arrangement) and images that are within 2.5 microns of accuracy and repeatability. The Automated Aeroscan also enables hole-diagnostics such as defect identification, drill life assessment, gap/crack detection, and a reduction of gapped fasteners and destack.

The Automated Aeroscan coupled with the Hand-held Aeroscan finally offers integrators a complete inspection solution, and can be used to re-inspect the “bad” holes identified by the Automated Aeroscan in a multi-function end-effector (drill, inspect, and fill) without having to move the end-effector back to the hole.
