WIZblade - The Turbine Blade Industry Challenge
- Significantly reduce blade inspection cycle time
- Reduce inspection cost
- Improve measurement precision
- Reduce blade setup time
- Fully automated inspection process and analysis
The WIZblade is a turnkey Blade Inspection Solution for rapid high precision
measuring of turbine blades; both finished (machined) and unfinished (forged or cast) blades.
The Turbine Blade Inspection Solution features the highly acclaimed WIZprobe™-Nextec's laser scanning probe, state-of-the-art 4 axis motion controller, and WIZblade application software, all developed and made by Nextec Technologies.
The WIZprobeTM
- WIZprobeTM is an advanced non-contact laser-scanning sensor for fast, accurate and highly reliable geometric measurements
- WIZprobeTM measurement accuracy is guaranteed over a very wide range of material types, colors, surface finish and laser beam angles
- The WIZprobeTM is small in size, has a standard PH-10 interface
- Unique adaptive control capabilities enable self-calibration and adaptation to changing conditions during the scanning process
The Blade Inspection Software
- Display of actual and nominal profile plots on the screen at any cross section during "on-the-fly" data acquisition
- Inspection report generation with high resolution information all relevant turbine blade numerical dimensions
- Data analysis and automatic comparison to design data and defined tolerances
- High resolution, high density leading and trailing edges measurement
- Multicolor display of the designed and measured profiles, along with the tolerance envelop
- Automatic software alignment of blade position
- Dynamic zooming of the measured profiles data
- Automatic software alignment of blade position
- Hawk Option - The 3D scan data can be exported to any CAD compare software for 3D part analysis and inspection
The Motion Controller
- High performance 4 axis motion controller
- Data acquisition is captured on the fly
- Automatic surface tracking capability
The Platform
