Metrolog Blade Inspection Module

A new module is now available on Metrolog XG12.003 version. The new Blade Inspection Module is an expert module fully integrated in Metrolog XG for the measurement of this type of parts.

It enables to calculate the main features for controlling blades.

Not only this new advanced module is easier and quicker to use, but it also spares you the task of doing many extra calculations, with the risk of mistakes this task implies.

The measurement process is completely automated, since this module can be entered as one of the instructions of the measurement programme.

2- HOW TO USE IT

To use it, it is necessary to measure a series of sections on the part that we want to control.

The sections can be named according to the drawing references, to make it easier to identify them.

Once they are measured, click on Modules => Blade analysis

You can choose between three levels of features to control, and tick the elements you want. This selection will be saved for the next calculation. Once you have finished your selection, just click on OK.

Level 1

In this level you can calculate:

• the mean line for the blade section
• the inscribed circles centered on the mean line points
• the Leading Edge (LE) and Trailing Edge (TE) points or circles

Level 2

In this level you can calculate :

• The largest diameter (thickness) within the section
• The minimum circumscribed diameter within the section
• The blade thickness at a certain distance from the Leading edge and Trailing edge points perpendicular to the mean line or to the tangent point

Level 3

In this level you can calculate:

• the lines tangent to the nearest section to the leading edge or trailing edge
• the lines perpendicular to the lower Chord line
• the stacking point
• the alignment optimization
• the circles inscribed in the nominal mean line
• the profile points of the suction and pressure zones
• the line crossing all the stacking points of the blade

You can see a video of the module in our YouTube account:

COMMENTS ON THIS OPTION

• It is necessary to have a relevant number of points on each section
• When the function is done in a recording programme, the following line will be added

3- HOW TO SET UP NEW OPTIONS IN YOUR KEY

To set up new options, you must receive a notification from Metrologic Group that your programming code is available.

Once your code has been added in Metrologic Webread, follow the following steps:

• If the computer where the key is located has an Internet connection
  Right click on the Metrolog access icon
  Click on Properties
  Click on Find a destination
  Execute the file Security.exe

  Click on Programme
• If you do NOT Internet on the computer where the key is located
  From a computer with Internet, get connected to
  http://213.244.3.235
  As a username, enter your key number and your password (5 numbers)
  Fill in the user information
  Copy the programming code ( the longest one)
  Right click on the Metrolog access icon
  Click on Properties
  Click on Find a destination
  Execute the file Security.exe
  Copy the code on the main window
  Click on Programme
