Fast and Accurate

Airfoil blades are designed to maintain optimum aerodynamics while experimenting high temperatures and exposition to the elements. Designed for high-performance the built-in 3D line profiler achieves fast scan speeds (up to 10 kHz), and high 0.013 - 0.017 mm resolution.

Automated defect detection

Turbine blade inspection can be challenging; being able to inspect features, leading-edge surfaces, root geometry, and cooling holes is crucial. The UMA Blade integrates a high precision blue laser line sensor, a high-speed 3D scanner with advanced optics that deliver superior data quality on micro-features and challenging material surfaces.

Also considered a High-Speed Optical CMM, the UMA Blade is an excellent solution to move from contact probing to fast contactless inspection.

Streamline software drives this system, an easy to use inspection automation software that enables an easy-to-use, error-proof experience for operators. Streamline will manage all scan data and push it into PolyWorks|Inspector automatically, making the whole process seamless while maintaining the most powerful feature comparison and reporting tools on the market.

Easy to Use

No need for a dedicated robot programmer, Streamline software provides an interactive common interface amongst all hardware. It is easy to learn and use.

High Speed

This station has faster cycle times that the average system thanks to it's blue laser sensor and fast processing.

Greatest Value

Highest productivity and lowest cost compared to traditional 3D scanning and Coordinated Measuring Machines (CMMs)

Key features

Granite surface plate and vertical beam for consistent thermal stability
Built-in rugged computer
High speed and accurate sensor
Friendly user interface with touch display
Statistical process control ready (SPC)
Automatic report generation
Consistent results with one-time configuration
Flexible fixturing

Aerospace

Ideal for manufacturing, maintenance, repair, and overhaul of airfoil blades. From the castings manufacturing facility to the service center.

Industrial Gas Turbine (IGT)

Ideal for inspecting airfoil blades in the manufacturing of gas turbines, and for maintenance, overhaul, repair, and refurbishing.

Multi-System Data Management

Several UMA Blades systems work in the same network where analysts and decision-makers can review inspections and reports directly from their browser. The information is stored in a centralized server where it resides safe and always available, even when the UMA Blades systems are powered off.
