Platform for aeronautical applications

For aircraft maintenance applications, a key benefit of CTI Systems' Teleplatform technology is the fact that it is compatible with an extensive range of aircraft types and even aircraft that are parked in the hangar at an angle can be reached just as easily as those in a ‘nose-in’ or ‘tail-in’ position. This flexibility means that inspection and maintenance work can be undertaken on the broadest mixed fleets – an extremely valuable feature at facilities where short notice is often given regarding the make and model of the incoming aircraft to be worked upon. Quickest aircraft access In operation, the platform is lowered back down to floor level. At this point maintenance personnel can enter the platform and their elevation to the required position on the aircraft can commence. Teleplatforms travel within the bridges of the crane system and can be deployed at any point within the hangar underneath the overhead crane tracks. The Teleplatform can also be quickly and simply interchanged with a hoist carrier if required and is parked when not in use or when servicing is required. Latest ergonomic features and safety equipment To ensure that any part of the Teleplatform does not come into contact with an aircraft at any stage, it can be fitted with CTI Systems' distance control technologies – Touchless Bumper, Block Shape Control and Twin Scan Control. Meanwhile, the platform’s horizontal movements – left and right and backwards and forwards -are determined by a Relative Motion Control (RMC) system, developed by CTI Systems. The RMC allows a technician to direct the platform with precision and ease by simply moving the joystick in the required direction of travel.
