ALICONA 3D METROLOGY APPLICATION AREAS
Aerospace
Bruker ALICONA optical metrology solutions for 3D measurement with high precision are applicable in several areas of the aerospace industry:
Quality
Research and development
Manufacturing
MRO
These areas benefit from the optimization of several of their processes:
✔ Inspection of raw materials, materials, parts and components to ensure their compliance.
✔ Automatic measurement of cooling holes.
✔ Checking the rounding of edges at the base of the blades and the wing profile.
✔ Geometric verification of:
– Turbine disc teeth
– Engine and transmission components
– Sealing components
– Topics
– Bearings
– Axles
– Etc.
✔ Roughness measurement to optimize coating and machining processes for complex materials such as titanium, composites and heat-resistant alloys.
✔ Failure analysis.
“With Alicona we know if a component is OK and if it is within the specified tolerances and a wide range of measurements makes each of our components measurable”
Improving performance through defect detection and edge break measurement
Especially for critical aircraft engine parts such as turbine disks, it is safety-relevant that the break edges lie within defined tolerances. To prevent high stress and damaged parts, Alicona optical 3D metrology is used to ensure that the break edge geometry corresponds to specifications.
BENEFITS ALICONA
Measurement of minimum radius to make sure it is not too small and analysis whether the machined profile is within the tolerance zone.
Measurements can be performed directly on the component using the robot-based measurement solutions Alicona Cobots.
Measurement procedure and optical scanning sequences are fully automated so that user influence is reduced
Non-destructive measures in (MRO)
3D measurements allow detecting and quantifying defects in surfaces and edges. of all kinds of components.
BENEFITS ALICONA
Measurements of 3D areas and visualization of defects and marks, including length, depth, volume and height steps. The Coicots of Alicona allow measurements to be made not only on the replicated materials, but also directly on the parts. To measure the components, the Cobots can be manually guided to the required measuring position.
