The inspection of aerofoil blades can be time consuming. Quality control can take almost as long as the production process itself because it requires extremely high levels of accuracy and precision.
Technology advances make it possible to choose both higher throughput and accuracy when measuring fan and turbine blades.
Today, manufactured parts are required to be produced faster and with tighter tolerances. In particular, the aerospace market looks to increase the amount of high-performance engines produced and offer significant fuel efficiency improvements. Current measurement methods used to control the manufacturing process and validate finished blades can cause bottlenecks and delay output of these new engines. The GLOBAL S HTA answers the needs of jet engine manufacturers seeking measurement technologies that reduce cycle times by 60% compared to current contact scanning machines, and provides a richer measurement data set.
Highly complex and time-sensitive manufacture of turbine blades requires fast measurement directly within the manufacturing process. Time-optimised blade measurement can be carried out with the Leitz SIRIO BX from Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence in the manufacturing environment.
