Aerospace manufacturing is extremely advanced and complex.
Its strict regulations require high-level precision and reliability to ensure safety and performance across a range of aerospace components, from intricate engine parts to robust structural features.
VICIVISION UK turned part measurement machines play a critical role in this process, providing accurate and efficient measurement solutions for a variety of aerospace components.
Four key applications for VICIVISION in the aerospace industry
Aerospace engines
Engine components, including turbine blades, compressor blades, impellers and combustors, are essential for the safety and reliability of an aircraft. They must be manufactured with high precision to withstand the high temperatures, pressures and vibrations of aerospace engines.
VICIVISION UK turned part measurement systems ensure that critical engine components meet the required tolerances to operate safely, identifying any potential defects in the components immediately to avoid engine failure.
Landing gear
Landing gear components, including struts, wheels, and brakes, are critical to the safety of an aerospace vehicle. They must be able to withstand the heavy loads of landing and take-off, as well as functioning at peak capacity in all weather conditions.
VICIVISION UK turned part measurement machines provide accurate and reliable measurements utilising high resolution optics to measure the dimensions of these parts and identify even the smallest inaccuracies and inconsistencies.
Avionics
Avionic components are essential to the safety and operation of aircraft. They control everything from communication and navigation to flight control and engine management and must be able to perform reliably in all conditions, including extreme temperatures and high vibrations.
VICIVISION UK’s non-contact measurement systems measure critical dimensions to ensure that avionic components are manufactured to the correct dimensions to help prevent circuit board or communication failures, navigation errors, flight control or engine management issues.
Structural components
Structural components are some of the most vital aerospace elements, including wings, fuselage, and tail sections. They must be strong enough to withstand the forces of flight, yet be lightweight to ensure maximum fuel-efficiency.
VICIVISION UK non-contact measurement machines are used to measure critical dimensions including length, width, thickness and diameter to prevent structural failure.
