Electromagnetic Dent Removal
REDUCE REPAIR COSTS AND INCREASE AIRPLANE AVAILABILITY
Certified technicians from Boeing Tooling Support can quickly remove dents from commercial aircraft and business jets -- electromagnetically. There is no need to remove the damaged component. In fact, most repairs can be completed in as little as 15 minutes. You avoid the cost and delay of ordering, installing, and refinishing replacement parts. Most important of all, your airplane returns to service promptly, ready to earn revenue.
No need to access the rear surface
Electromagnetic dent removal equipment creates powerful electromagnetic fields on both sides of a metal surface, but mechanics need access to only one side. Because there's no need to access the rear surface, there is no need to remove the part and no need to climb inside restrictive spaces.
Effective on painted and polished surfaces
Electromagnetic dent removal is ideal for painted and finished surfaces. There's no hammering, drilling, or clamping, so the process does not mar surface treatments.
Removes dents of all sizes
Perfect for aluminum skins up to one-tenth of an inch thick, electromagnetic dent removal returns surfaces to their original contours, within acceptable limits. The depth of the dent doesn't matter.
Excellent restoration of design strength
As long as the surface is not scored or creased and no material has been removed, electromagnetic dent removal restores parts to 97 percent of their original strength. You can often achieve the same strength and longevity as a replacement part would provide. You avoid maintenance costs and airplane down time, while sustaining your airplane's residual value
On-site, on-airplane dent repair
- Dents removed in minutes
- Rear surface access not required
- Ideal for painted surfaces
- No footprint or blending
- No residual magnetic fields
The electromagnetic dent removal unit uses a coil to create strong electromagnetic fields on both sides of a metal surface. Instantaneously collapsing the field on the near side of the surface causes the field on the rear side to push the metal surface toward the coil. The process leaves no residual magnetic fields.
