Meet your safety requirements with an optical 3D measuring system

Turbine engines are highly specialized aircraft components that must meet comprehensive safety requirements. These precision components are based on complex geometries and tolerances in the micro-nano range. In order to increase efficiency and ensure safe operation, functional measurement of the air film holes in the cooling turbine blades or the measurement of broken edges on highly stressed components can be measured.

High-precision optical 3D measuring systems are ideally suited for the inspection of safety requirements for high-performance aircraft components: measuring the width, length, depth and volume of cracks or scratches, or measuring steep flanks with the help of vertical focus measurements. Other applications include the automatic verification of the angle, size and shape of up to 500 cooling holes, even different shapes. In addition, coating process or MRO process inspections are validated with profile-based (Ra, RQ, RZ) and area-based (SA, SQ, SZ) roughness measurements.

What parameters can be measured with the Bruker Alicona optical method?

According to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the fracture edge of a fan blade, compressor disc, turbine blade, blisk or housing.

The leading and trailing edges of the turbine blades, there are even sharp opening angles.

Minor defects in components (e.g., rotor blades) or component assembly (e.g., motors).

Membrane pore The geometry of the cooling hole.

Surface roughness.
