Turbine Engine Alignment
Aerospace
Aerospect SPS is an industrial hardened engine alignment system which significantly reduces stacking time and optimises engine peformance. The system consists of a hardened tool steel air bearing spindle mounted on a granite base, the spindle provides a high degree of accuracy while maintaining the robustness required during the engine build process.
The Aerospect system has a 98% first time build hit rate providing a large cost saving during maintenance and manufacture, this cost saving is also transferred to the end user where optimised alignment increases engine efficiency.

Aerospect SPS 1000LAn industrial hardened jet engine alignment system which significantly reduces stacking time and optimises engine performance. The Aerospect system consists of a high load capacity air bearing spindle made from hardened tool steel mounted on a graniteplate. This spindle provides a high degree of accuracy while maintaining shop floor robustness required during the engine build and alignment process. Measurements are taken using 4 precision gauge heads (8 optional) mounted on two gauges posts ensuring fast simple set up. |
Special "swing away" gauge arms allow the operator to load and unload components in a rapid and safe manner. Developed in conjunction with a major engine manufacturer the system is powered by Aerospect windows based software, unique algorithms are used to optimise alignment and help eliminate "crankshaft" and "banana" type effects casued by incorrect stacking, features include;
- Air bearing spindle master axis with radial and axial precision of < 0.125um
- Full centre and level capability with 454Kg load capacity
- Low profile table for stacking and build assistance
- Multi-gauge set up (optional 8) with 4 gauge simultaneous measurement
- Swing away gauge heads for safe load/unload of components
- Aerospect stack prediction software with easy set up and shopfloor programming
- Centre and level software aid
- Parameters include roundness,flatness, run-out and SP value and angle
