OCTOPUS Robotic Interferometer Enhances On-Site Inspection of MIL-DTL-38999 Connectors

Oceanside, CA, May 20, 2023. The OCTOPUS Robotic Interferometer is set to revolutionize on-site inspections of MIL-DTL-38999 connectors in aerospace, marine, and military vehicle service. This advanced technology addresses limitations in 2D inspection methods, providing a comprehensive solution to ensure the reliability of these connections.

Octopus Robotic Interferometer

With the OCTOPUS Robotic Interferometer, 3D information for non-removable defects can be obtained, enabling thorough analysis and issue identification. The system excels in detecting fiber chips and cracks, enabling proactive maintenance to prevent failures. It also accurately registers fiber height, mitigating mating issues and reducing the risk of fiber damage during connection. These advancements result in reduced downtime, streamlined maintenance, and cost savings, revolutionizing connector inspection in critical industries.
