With more than 40 years of experience in the aerospace industry, Leading Edge Aerospace (LEA), headquartered in Wichita (Kansas, USA.)(UU.), offers permanent or concerted visit inspection services. It also operates the follow-up detailed laser of assembled elements, with verification and reverse engineering; as well as design tailor-made tools and machining in 3 and 5 axes, counting also with autoclave facilities.
Each of the applications of Leading Edge responds to challenges completely specific metrological: thoroughly inspect tolerances during production/editing of templates and assemblies; capture detailed metal contours, diameters of holes deep and intricate alignments; inspect aircraft parts during the process during and after the manufacturing and/or inspection. The broad spectrum of applications and requirements of measurement facing Leading Edge made that traditional measurement apparatuses would be insufficient.
The solution
Beacon Technologies has provided the portability, accuracy and reliability they needed both Leading Edge and the aerospace industry. LEA, recognizing the advantages of this technology has been used for years Lighthouse products. FaroArm Quantum now joins his Toolbox metrological, which already includes several arms Platinum FaroArm and tracking laser beacon systems. Quantum is the latest generation of the FaroArm product line, and continues eclipsing models of competition in all categories. "There no comparable alternative product to work in the plant." "Its leading features in the area make it the ideal tool for companies that are constrained by the restrictions of CMM (coordinate measuring machines) fixed and portable models of inferior quality", said Jay Freeland, President and CEO of Lighthouse.
FaroArm Quantum is the first arm of 2.4 meters with proven efficacy to measure accurately within 0,017 mm, one fifth of the thickness of a human hair. Challenging the limits of the portable metrology, performs measurements more easily and precisely at the time that provides high reliability when it comes to release parts and products of the highest quality more quickly. Quantum will be the first line read accuracy instrument, offered to its customers as the ideal tool to perform measurements of surface and dimensional calculations with the highest level of accuracy in its entirety.
