Honeywell Aerospace is a producer of high performance electrical induction motors for a variety of specialized aerospace applications. During fabrication small manufacturing imperfections can occur inside the motor’s rotor, decreasing overall performance. This project entails the simulation, design, and construction of an inductive electromagnetic imaging system to detect and quantify imperfections in inductive rotors.
