Aircraft Wheel Inspection Systems
Aircraft wheel inspection uses eddy current to find cracks in wheel halves at every tyre change, without damaging them. Asia NDE supplies the VeeScan automated eddy current wheel inspection system from ETher NDE across Malaysia and Southeast Asia. We serve aerospace wheel shops and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) organisations, with calibration and repair support from our Subang Jaya office.
What it’s used for
- Scanning wheel bead seats and other critical areas for cracks at tyre change.
- Inspecting wheels from helicopter nose wheels to wide-body main wheels.
- Repeatable automated scans, with teach-and-learn setup for each wheel type.
- Digital (PDF) inspection reports for MRO records.

Frequently asked questions
How are aircraft wheels inspected for cracks?
Wheel halves are usually inspected with eddy current at each tyre change, focusing on the bead seat and other areas the wheel manufacturer specifies. An automated system such as the VeeScan turns the wheel and moves the probe, so every wheel gets the same full scan and a stored report.
Why use an automated system instead of a hand-held probe?
An automated system gives the same coverage and scan speed on every wheel. This reduces differences between operators and speeds up busy wheel shops. It also stores each result as a report for traceability. Hand-held eddy current flaw detectors are still used for spot checks and areas the scanner cannot reach.
