# Blade Manufacturing QC

> Inline ultrasonic inspection integrated into the production line


Inline QC at the moulding station beats field rework on cost, and the gap is not marginal. A defect found at the station costs hours of line time, and the same defect found after demoulding costs weeks. The MIS-100 gantry scans spar caps, shear webs and bond lines at 500 mm/s immediately after moulding, so a 100 m blade is cleared before it leaves the station and before the transport and rework overhead starts.
