How long to get a Turbine blade measured accurately?
People don’t believe us when we say the instrument is fast. So here’s a quick forty-one second video showing how long it takes to measure (precisely) a nick on the edge of a turbine blade.
Keep your eyes glued to the screen:
Here’s the breakdown:
- Locate the dent on the part
- Set the 4D InSpec’s edge-holding accessory on the blade, with the imaging aperture at focal distance
- Click the button on the instrument (or on the screen, if you have a free hand)
- Wait a second for the 3D plot to be calculated
- Draw a profile trace along the blade edge, starting to each side of the nick
- In the profile plot, use the green sub-selectors to drag an area of interest window.
- Read the peak to valley from the screen, reported instantly
