アジアInspection of Aircraft Pylons, Winglets and Fairings
Dimensional Measurement Solutions to Accurately Inspect Curved Panels Including Aircraft Pylons, Winglets and Fairings
Winglets and fairings play an essential role in the aerodynamic performance of an aircraft, while the pylon performs the crucial task of holding the aircraft engine in place.
As with every element of an aircraft’s structure, it is imperative to ensure winglets, fairings and pylons comply with design standards. But the complex, curved surfaces of these mid-sized aircraft parts make them time-consuming and tricky to inspect. Not only do they need to be measured from every angle, they are manufactured with advanced composite materials that require careful handling, making them difficult to manoeuvre within the measuring area.
Airframers typically use skilled operators to inspect pylons, winglets and fairings, but with the right measurement tools, manufacturers can enhance productivity by simplifying and automating the process while guaranteeing precision.
Hexagon equips the aerospace industry with CMMs, portable measurement solutions and metrology software options that combine flexibility and accuracy to inspect curved aircraft parts even within challenging workshop environments.
