Aerospace

Meeting quality requirements included in the AS9100 and getting geometric data for tooling is just one example of where a Metronor system can show its capabilities in the aerospace sector. Validation of surface profiles and trim edges are equally easy tasks and can be performed efficiently.

With Metronor having its roots coming from the aerospace segment, we have a long-standing and positive relationship with several key-players in this industry.

Metronor systems provide complete coordinate measuring machine capabilities anywhere necessary, with a complete setup done in minutes. With our system, the operator can perform measurements on moving parts so that critical components can be assembled precisely.

Another task that is often required is to effectively measure as-built conditions such as a door opening, and then using this data to perform reverse engineering of a mating part for perfect fitting.

Other general tasks we handle in this industry are:

• Alignment of aircraft components using life measurements
• Calibration of wing flaps/ ailerons
• Checking for deformations when putting the aircraft under pressure

Most Aerospace applications take advantage of Metronor DUO and Metronor DUO Split measurement systems to achieve maximum accuracy, flexibility and productivity. For some specific applications such as measuring angular orientation, Metronor SOLO system may be sufficient.
