Defence
The defence sector uses a range of metrology products including the Metronor M-Scan 120 system for large scale measurement.
Requirements in the Defence Sector
In the defence sector the key requirements for metrology products include
- 100% reliable equipment
- Repeatable results
- Metus quis
- Sodales tristique
The defence sector requires robust measuring equipment that is reliable, accurate and highly portable in order to support projects both in the workshop as well as field service activities with support groups and remote locations.
Equipment such as portable arm CMMs, laser scanners, laser trackers, optical telescopes and structured light scanners, in the main, tend to meet these requirements criterion and have performances that meets or surpasses the expectations of defence personnel and clients.
Other Sectors
Education & Research
The research community needs ground-breaking technology to help with their research projects.
Shipbuilding
Alignment telescopes are used for accurate shaft alignment as well as periscope alignment in ship building.
Auto, Truck & Bus
Automotive applications include flush and gap of panels, 3D measurements, and residual bolt torque.
Typical Applications
Defence equipment and sytems require full sub-assembly cross-checks to ensure that all fittings and weld are present and in the right place.
Aircraft fuselage or wing damage
Products such as the 8tree dentCHECK are finding use with defence customers in Australia and New Zealand to help reduce the time it takes to map aircraft damage to report the damage condition to the aircraft manufacturer. Reduced time to map and report damage means lower maintenance costs for defence customers and a faster turnaround time on the ground for military aircraft.
Workshop maintenance and support applications
We have a number of customers in the Defence sector who are using measurement equipment such as optical comparators, CMMs and roundness measuring systems such as Taylor Hobson Talyrond for measuring, inspecting and reporting on components being manufactured as well as the maintenance of existing systems.
These products allow the defence departments and the support contract community to accurately produce and assure the quality of components manufactured in order to achieve high levels of equipment up-time and improvements in reliability.
Rotor Stack Prediction
Defence customers use products such as Taylor Hobson/Precitech SPS 1000 rotor stack prediction system to accurately align jet engine turbine blades after maintenance.
