MT Blade™: Blade Inspection

Accuracy and quality in the blades measurement and analysis

Metrologic MT Blade™ simplifies the blades measurement job. This module
is compatible with all touch probes, or optical measuring, adapts to any
3D machine. It was developed in partnership with blades manufacturers
and is a turnkey solution for analog scanning of blade sections.
Metrologic MT Blade™ has a easy access user interface, with which users
can quickly select the sections and launch scanning sequences. Simply
enter a new set of parameters to configure the analysis of a new type of
blade. MMT or other means of measurement does not require special
programming.
The blade measures uses techniques based on the sections analysis to
obtain fast, precise and flexible results.

Description
Metrologic MT Blade™ provides targeted data such as Total length,
thicknesses at the leading and trailing edge, Mean line, Chord line and
other measures ready for analysis. In addition, its integration into the
Metrolog XG environment allows it to benefit all other possibilities
of alignment, optimization, construction and geometric tolerancing,
allowing the end to generate clear and explicit graphical reports.

Metrologic MT Blade™ folds calculation methods preferred by
manufacturers. The manufacturers of blades stem from different ways to
determine the part characteristics. To reflect this diversity,
Metrologic Group has integrated in the Metrologic MT Blade™ module
various algorithms that support these different valuation methods. Using
a wide range of alignment methods, such as, in addition to the
conventional method of fixing the root of iterative alignments using 3D
CAD surface models or 6 points of support, allows make high precision
blades measurements.
Calculated characteristics:
- Mean line Leading edge (point and
circle)
- Trailing edge (point and circle)
- Max thickness
- Min circumscribed diameter
- Thicknesses from leading edge
- Thicknesses from trailing edge
- Chord line
- Total length
- Stacking (point and angular
deviation)
- Stacking line
The measured data are directly usable with the report editor
integrated in Metrolog XG.
