Automatic System Increases Speed of Inspection Aircraft wheels are subject to high level cyclic fatigue, particularly during landing. To ensure the safety of passengers and the aircraft, it is important that the wheels are maintained to the highest standard. Eddy Current wheel inspection is widely accepted throughout the world as a rapid and reliable means of maintaining the integrity of aircraft wheels. Rapid Testing The unit covers the wheel with inspection speeds up to 2 ms-1 (78 inches/second).

Without Compromising the Integrity of Inspection Accurate code, and input errors such as the operator ID and Job References can also be input by bar code. This removes the need for manual data re-keying, the most frequent cause of data error in comparable systems. For added data protection, a key switch with user/supervisor mode locks out unauthorized changes. With encoders on all axes, repeat positioning of scan parameters is guaranteed.

Versatile Inspection Aircraft Wheel Inspection requirements are constantly improved and expanded to include various wheel sizes and inspection styles. WheelScan 5 is designed to deal with these changes. WheelScan‘s SLIC clamping system adjusts to all types of wheels and sizes. Even very small wheels are quickly and easily secured with this clamping system without special hardware.

Easy to use The roller table makes wheel positioning and incorporation into a conveyor system easy. The "Teach & Learn“ system coupled with bar code scanning saves valuable inspection time while minimizing user error. Operation is easy with the intuitive interface, rotary control for parameter setting and push buttons for commonly used functions. Easy Maintenance WheelScan is designed with full diagnostic features, including motion control and test from the HMI to full remote evaluation from a computer.
