Metrology for Aerospace: Ensuring Quality Control, Safety and Compliance
The aerospace industry uses an extensive range of components and assemblies that demand meticulous precision in manufacturing. Safety, regulatory requirements and faster production cycles all have a role to play in aerospace metrology.
Achieving this level of quality control can be problematic for aircraft manufacturers. OEMs and sub-contractors in the aerospace industry must implement comprehensive production traceability measures. Quality control reports at different stages of the manufacturing process are demanded.
Why Metrology is Essential in Aerospace
Typically, aerospace parts are manufactured across multiple locations and subsequently assembled, necessitating an indispensable requirement for thorough inspection and traceability at every stage.
High quality data in digital formats is required to ensure traceability as manual processes such as the use of mylars and callipers are increasingly phased out.
Why Aerospace Manufacturers Choose InspecVision
Sheet metal components play a crucial role in aircraft construction, being utilised in the production of a wide array of assemblies including: turbine engines, landing gear, wing ribs and access panels. CMMs, whilst highly accurate, require the use of jigs to fixture the components for inspection, adding expense and lead time.
At InspecVision, we understand the challenges faced by aerospace manufacturers, including tight tolerances, complex geometries, and strict industry compliance requirements.
InspecVision's advanced vision inspection systems offer accurate measurement, defect detection, and automated inspection capabilities for aerospace quality control.
Automatically Create Inspection Programs - Our systems provide a high-speed, competitively priced solution which is easy to set up. Large commercial jets encompass a vast array of part designs, numbering in the millions. While the automation of part inspection holds significance, for the aerospace sector it is the automation of the part inspection program’s creation that truly takes precedence.
Digitise Mylar Drawings - Traditionally, aerospace design drawings were created and stored on mylar sheets, which were also used for visual inspection of parts. The InspecVision system replaces mylar sheets for inspection and can convert them into digital CAD files. This benefits organisations in the aerospace industry with large mylar archives, allowing for digitisation and future use of the drawings.
