Blade Inspection
Toolkit
Improving
inspection data
GE Aerospace’s Blade Inspection Toolkit technology gives GEnx -1B and -2B customers clear and consistent insight during HPT Stage 1 & Stage 2 blade inspections. Blade Inspectors with integral cameras CAPTURE images with cutting edge AI technology, extracting and presenting them for REVIEW in an easy-to-consume format.
Capture
A simple one-hand installation process, with fixed position cameras, provide consistent, high quality images during every inspection. Blade Inspectors install into the S1 and S2 boroports, and the engine can be rotated either manually by hand or automatically using customer supplied turning tools.
Review
The User Interface (UI), developed with airline inspector feedback, groups images together to reduce operator burden. Operators can flag blades of interest and add notes, which will appear in an automatically generated inspection report at the end of the inspection.
Measure
Where measurement of the blade is required, the BIT software enables fast and intuitive line and area defect measurement with all measurements included in the inspection report.
Secure data
Whether all inspection data is required, or simply an overview of highlighted blades and measurements, the BIT UI provides a route to export this data to a customers data management system.
A direct link between the BIT software and the cloud also provides a safe and secure backup of inspection data.
