XEnsuring the Structural Integrity of Aircraft with Simulation, Production and Inspection Technologies
Optimising the measurement of aircraft frames and stringers on the shop floor or close to machining centres increases productivity and ensures accuracy.
Cabin pressurisation tests are a vital milestone for prototypes of new lines of aircraft and the results must be fully recorded and understood before development can proceed.
3D metrology can be used to simplify the measurement of deformations resulting from load resistance testing in large cylindrical structures like aircraft fuselages.
The dimensional inspection of ribs, hinges and other large machined parts used in an aircraft’s structure requires large-volume measurement solutions with excellent...
Dimensional inspection of critical aerodynamic aircraft components such as winglets, fairings and pylons is essential to safe and efficient flight.
Deploying local real-time monitoring and capturing trends in measurement data, alongside machine utilisation information, can provide insights for continuous process...
Portable, easy-to-use, high-performance metrology systems to ensure the accurate installation of assembly tooling and fixtures for...
Portable measurement solutions can increase productivity in aircraft cabin fitting by simplifying the inspection of passenger seat frames.
Increase productivity by turning the installation and inspection of brackets in aircraft cabins into a one-step process.
Accurate inclination measurement is required to calibrate and check the function of aircraft flight control surfaces such as the elevator, rudder, slats, flaps and ailerons.
Precise, constant alignment coupled with automated measurement and on-the-machine tooling results in faster milling of aero-structure ribs and fewer rejects.
Inspecting and checking the alignment of large aircraft fuselage sections and floor panels during machining can help reduce waste and improve productivity.
The machining of an aero engine pylon from a single blank can be made more accurate by in-process measurement to identify potential errors.
Specialised acoustic simulation software enables aircraft manufacturers to reduce noise levels in the cabin and cockpit while using lightweight structural materials.
The complexity and cost of creating CFRP aircraft components mean manufacturers benefit from analysing and simulating the impact of manufacturing defects on part performance.
Simulation software can be used to reduce development cycles by virtually testing CFRP components for the aerospace industry.
Engineers can shorten development times by using simulation software throughout the aircraft design lifecycle to analyse the impact of loads on its structure.
Airframers can test and measure the performance and durability of an aircraft structure’s movable parts more quickly and cost-effectively with simulation software.
Aircraft manufacturers can improve the use and traceability of materials, as well as product design, by capturing, managing and sharing data about materials from within...
