Turbine alignment system
SPS 1000L TAYLOR HOBSON

An 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;
