In terms of equipment. McDonnell Douglas proposes an automated ultrasonic scanning system (AUSS) with 9 axes of motion, a 7 axes ultrasound system (ADIS-II) and a portable inspection system (MAUS II) for aerospace composite structure inspection [36], The ultrasonic resin analyser (URA 2002A from Quatro Technologies) can be used to measure the resin content in polymer based composites [10]. The UCMS-200 ultrasonic cure monitoring system from Micromet Instruments utilizes measurements of the ultrasonic sound speed to monitor changes in the viscosity, rigidity of composites. 

Insulation. A reinforced foam machine designed for McDonnell Douglas may be the most complex automated composite fabrication equipment ever built (27). Its purpose was to produce a 70 cm x 22.5 cm three-dimensionally reinforced, urethane foam log continuously, to be used for insulating tankers transporting liquefied natural gas. This equipment probably holds a record number of ends of reinforcing material handled on a single machine. A supply rack feeds 3500 ends...
