MAHR The Application Specialist, offers metrology solutions for airplane components. YOUR PARTNER IN MODERN METROLOGY EXPERIENCE Since developing our first Vernier calipers back in 1868 we’ve accumulated over 150 years’ of metrological expertise. Producing the world’s first digital indicator and microprocessor controlled roughness measuring instrument, we now hold over 10,000 different products and we continue to drive the leading edge of innovation in modern metrology. Our highly trained team operates from 52 countries across the globe, driving metrological research and high quality production, whilst supporting our valued customers. PRECISION Our trusted measuring instruments feature in all manner of prominent processes from automotive and aerospace manufacturing to biomechanical research and mechanical engineering. Wherever precise measurement is required, there is a Mahr tool for the job. From calipers to highend customised measuring systems, you can rely on Mahr for low measuring uncertainties and well manufactured instruments built to last. MAHR UK PLC - MEASURING SOLUTIONS FOR THE AEROSPACE INDUSTRY Precision makes flying safe! Engines, wings, rudders, flaps, control systems, chassis, etc., must function absolutely properly during the flight in order to guarantee the safe transport of passengers. Only precision-crafted components function reliably for hours and in almost any environment. Global air traffic is rapidly increasing. This means that the requirements for lower exhaust emissions and thus lower fuel consumption are increasing constantly. In addition, the reduction of aircraft noise in urban areas is more vehemently demanded by the population, which in turn affects the noise emission of engines. Hence suppliers are increasingly feeling the pressure on the costs of major aircraft manufacturers. 40 PECM Issue 19 Constant tension between innovation and cost pressure; along with the high demands for reliability, metrology from Mahr provides solutions for R&D, measuring rooms and 100% control in manufacturing. Under development phase, surface structures are carefully examined and new lighter materials are increasingly being tested and implemented in order to minimize frictional resistance. In manufacturing, the challenge is to deliver the high-quality components error-free to the subsequent processing or assembly step and avoid costly rework. In addition to the testing of dimensional parameters; inspection plays an important role in cracks and eruptions. Optical measurement methods and inspection methods can accelerate quality assurance and make it independent of subjective assessments.
