Airfoil Inspection

Airfoil Inspection

The inspection app for airfoil geometries

Evaluate blade geometries easily

The ZEISS INSPECT app Airfoil Inspection will help you ensure that everything runs smoothly in terms of blade geometry. Whether in power supply, aircraft and shipbuilding, electrical appliances or the automotive industry – the app analyzes both optical and tactile measurement data from coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and is compatible with all common data formats. From design to quality control, the software supports you in the efficient analysis of your measurement data. Take advantage of our tailored analysis tools for blades and airfoils.

Unique on the market

3D throat area

Digital analysis of the throat area: Use the Airfoil Inspection app to determine the minimum three-dimensional area between two blades. This gives you the geometrically narrowest cross-section – regardless of whether it is a partial area or a closed channel.

Advanced evaluation

Virtual balancing

A digital twin saves you valuable assembly time. Based on the digital 3D model, you define the ideal order of blades before assembly and to minimize imbalances. ZEISS INSPECT supports you step by step.

Create your own functions
Individual

Create your own functions

Using Python interface and the command recorder in ZEISS INSPECT, you can record all operations in the software, and save them as a script. You can edit and customize this code and get functions that will make your work easier.
Or make it easy on yourself and take a look at further ZEISS INSPECT apps: Here we have already implemented many functions that streamline your processes and reduce process fluctuations.

Save time and money
Basic parametric principle

Save time and money

Same series, new part? Thanks to the parametric kernel of ZEISS INSPECT, you do not need a new inspection plan. That’s because all inspection steps are saved in the background enabling you to use them over again, or adapt them to new circumstances, and create your measurement reports. Welcome to a new level of efficiency.

A look into practice

  • Measuring and analyzing blisks

    If you measure and inspect a single blade of a blisk, ZEISS INSPECT allows you to efficiently repeat this process for any number of additional blades on the blisk.

  • Measuring and analyzing guide vanes

    A guide vane usually consists of a vane blade as well as a hub and a casing cover band. The complete inspection of a guide vane is also easily possible with ZEISS INSPECT.

  • Measuring and analyzing drums

    Drums consist of several blisks. These blisks are welded together to form a drum. With ZEISS INSPECT, you can also inspect complete drums.
