Turbine Blade Gauging Machine
Specialist Tooling Technologies Ltd can provide you with Machines and Gauges for your Turbine Blade Inspection process.
Because Turbine Blades come in a variety of sizes, we produce Machines that can accommodate Blades that fall within the categories of small, medium and large.
The transducers are adjusted and set to the machines lower and upper datum planes.
The the blade Tooling is tightened into the machine and it is ready to measure.
Different blade tools can be changed in and out of the machine without any resetting of the transducers.
The process of setting up the Machine with Tooling for a particular Blade usually takes 5 – 10 minutes. Once set, the cycle time per Blade including load/unload is under 1 minute.
If you compare this with a CMM used for inspection, the set up time would be substantially more. In addition to this, the cycle time would be greater; in fact as the number of points increases, so would the cycle time.
