As the complexity and precision of automotive parts become more demanding, the choice of sensor and the way that data is processed becomes more integral to the system and workstation design.
Jet engine turbine blade gauging
Specialists in the investment casting and machining of alloy metals, such as aluminium and titanium, which are primarily used for jet aircraft engines and airframes, have to measure the dimensions of the blades after surface grinding.
Profile analysis of complex curves, such as airfoils
Although tolerance within the blades used on aircrafts are tight, the position of the blade can vary greatly in free space, leading to inaccurate readings at high volumes. Solartron’s 10 mm Digital Pneumatic Probes are ideal for this application.
