OPTRION, a spin-off of Centre Spatial de Liège and a branch of V2i, is a company specialized in optical metrology and non-destructive testing for composite material and structures, especially Shearography.

Based on a successful industrial transformation in 2019, MPP is positioned as the preferred solution for both aerospace and industrial companies to support customers in their needs for expertise and non-destructive inspection of their parts as well as precision deburring and polishing.

Calyos is a leading expert in the design and manufacture of two-phase thermal management systems.

We are technical experts in the following domains :

• loop heat pipes,
• micro-channel heat pipes,
• pulsating heat pipes. 

Calyos has developed several solutions for three specific cooling applications :

• power electronics, 
• processors, 
• batteries. 

Calyos also develops custom solutions beyond those applications for example, engine oil heat recovery. 

Computer Tomography for AEROnautical parts manufacturing

Le projet ViBra (Virtal Braiding) vise à développer des solutions numériques qui supporteront et optimiseront l’utilisation de machines de tressage (braiding) permettant la production automatisé de préformes sèches pour matériaux composites à section tubulaire. Ces machines sont en effet très difficiles à utiliser, mais leur caractère automatisé est un élément clé dans la démocratisation de l’utilisation des composites.

Salle propre 4.0

Produire en salle propre suppose un contrôle des paramètres en matière de pressions, d’humidité, de renouvellements d’air, etc. L'évolution récente montre un besoin accru d’archivage et le développement de logiciels de contrôle et de reporting. Nous avons développé une gestion 4.0 de nos installations, O+R est ainsi informée en temps réel, de plus, chaque jour nos clients reçoivent un fichier imprimable avec l'ensemble des valeurs de la journée. L'ensemble des données étant sécurisé 10 ans sur un serveur infraudable.

The activity is done on each of the following industrial methods used to check the quality of the material (usually Steel, Aluminum or Titanium alloy and composite parts)

• Liquid penetrant (PT)
• Magnetic particle (MT)
• Thermography (IRT)
• Shearography (ST)
• Eddy current (ET)
• Ultrasonic (UT)
• Radiography (RT)

For each method, Level 3 from NDTPRO must:

ID2Move supports the development of aerial, ground and maritime autonomous systems (with a specialization in drones) and the innovative technologies around (AI, IoT, sensors, etc.).

The indoor zone measures 670 sq. m. and is 8 m high. The floor is fully removable and can be fitted with sensors. Inside this room, a 10x10x6 m block is equipped with motion capture cameras.

The outdoor area consists of 4 ha of tarmac, to which a 2 ha automobile circuit managed by the RACB (Royal Automobile Club Belgium) can be added.

In a context of significant growth of air traffic, aircraft manufacturers face new economic and environmental challenges of commercial aircraft.  LAWITECS project, bringing together manufacturers such as SONACA, IONICS, MICROMEGA DYNAMICS and LASEA, proposes to develop Natural Laminar Flow technology applied to the wing leading edges in order to reduce fuel consumption of a medium-haul type A320 aircraft between 5 and 12% by 2025.
