All items go with the multi-award succeeding REVO\u00ae 5-axis measurement system\u00a0including APEXBlade\u2122 planning softwarefor REVO sweep scanning and DMIS programming, \u00a0MODUS\u2122 airfoil analysis for the\u00a0evaluation and reporting of blade section profile and airfoil\u00a0qualities,and SurfitBlade\u2122 to aid reverse engineering of the complete airfoil.<\/p>\n

Blades\u00a0have historically \u00a0been measured in sections due to the limitations of measurement procedures. Now, the brand-new family\u00a0of Renishaw products\u00a0allows the entire blade\u00a0\u00a0to be assessed inspected\u00a0and properly permitting infinite\u00a0section or full surface analysis based on high precision contact probe data<\/p>\n

APEXBlade is a software package designed to quickly generate collision free programs that drive the REVO measurement system to carry out complex \u2018sweep scans’ that will collect point cloud data from across the complete blade surface. The CAD model is imported into the virtual REVO CMM environment prior to the automatic generation of the measurement plan. Both transverse and longitudinal scans are supported and each sweep can be split, which is useful for edges where the actual position is expected to be significantly different from the nominal CAD. Once the user is happy with the program, a DMIS file is generated that can be executed within Renishaw’s MODUS metrology software.<\/p>\n

An essential benefit of the latest Renishaw approach to blade measurement\u00a0\u00a0is that a cloud \u00a0of idea facility information factors is created over the whole airfoil and root\u00a0surface areas. The MODUS factor cloud sectioning (MPCS) capability after that enables ‘on area’ areas to be created by intersecting any kind of specified aircraft with the caught factor cloud. This could be done at the time of dimension, or in the future if more parts at various places are called for, without the demand for re-measurement of the blade.<\/p>\n

The MODUS airfoil module then allows the user to take the nominal aerofoil sections available from the CAD model and the actual sections from the MPCS to provide blade fitting functionality for the reporting of blade section profile and aerofoil characteristics. MODUS offers comprehensive graphical reporting tools and the profile measurement results, which are fully integrated with all other feature measurement reports, can be output in pdf file format.<\/p>\n

For users requiring a reverse engineering capability, Renishaw’s SurfitBlade software is an offline application used to generate NURBS blade surface forms for use in downstream processes such as computational fluid dynamics and finite element analysis. It also allows average blade geometry to be established from a series of blade results.
\nIn summary, the Renishaw airfoil inspection suite provides automatic generation of the CMM program, rapid, high accuracy REVO data collection and comprehensive tools for cross section or full surface analysis.<\/p>\n
