An industrial hardened jet engine alignment system which significantly reduces stacking time and optimises engine performance. The Aerospect system consists of a high load capacity air bearing spindle made from hardened tool steel mounted on a granite plate. This spindle provides a high degree of accuracy while maintaining shop floor robustness required during the engine build and alignment process.
Measurements are taken using 4 precision gauge heads (8 optional) mounted on two gauges posts ensuring fast simple set up.
Special "swing away" gauge arms allow the operator to load and unload components in a rapid and safe manner. Developed in conjunction with a major engine manufacturer the system is powered by Aerospect windows based software, unique algorithms are used to optimise alignment and help eliminate "crankshaft" and "banana" type effects casued by incorrect stacking, features include;
- Air bearing spindle master axis with radial and axial precision of < 0.125um
- Full centre and level capability with 454Kg load capacity
- Raised profile table convenient for piece part measurement and low profile stacks
- Multi-gauge set up (optional 8) with 4 gauge simultaneous measurement
- Swing away gauge heads for safe load/unload of components
- Aerospect stack prediction software with easy set up and shopfloor programming
- Centre and level software aid
- Parameters include roundness,flatness, run-out and SP value and angle
