A powerful and intuitiveblade inspection module

Metrologic Group’s BLADE module is an advanced software solution, integrated into Metrolog X4 software, specifically designed for the 3D inspection of complex blades such as those of turbines, aircraft engines or compressors.

Developed in collaboration with blade manufacturers, this module meets the high demands of the aeronautical industry in terms of precision and reliability.

Powerful, easy-to-use module

Inspect complex shapes and unique geometries with ease thanks to a simple interface and powerful software engine

Universal compatibility

The BLADE module is compatible with all 3D measuring equipment, whether equipped with tactile or optical sensors. It is also optimized for 5-axis coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), enabling efficient inspection of complex geometries.

Complete inspection of critical features

The module enables precise measurement of essential elements such as

Leading and trailing edges
Maximum thickness
Inscribed and circumscribed circles
Rope lengths
Section profiles

These measures are crucial to ensure aerodynamic performance and component safety.

Intuitive interface and automation

Thanks to its user-friendly interface, the BLADE module makes it easy to program and analyze measurements. It offers features such as section concatenation and learning tools for advanced profile analysis, enabling fast, reliable inspection.

Adaptability to complex geometries

The module is designed to handle free-form shapes and unique geometries, such as fan blades, turbine blades and various vanes, thanks to a powerful software engine and integrated algorithms.

Clear, precise view

Detailed measurement display with optimized interface for analysis.

Adaptive interface

Automatic update according to the object being measured, for fast learning.

Integrated intelligence

Time-saving teach-in for reliable repeatability.

Advanced section analysis

Direct access to critical measurements: cross-sections, leading and trailing edges, thicknesses, inscribed circles.

Why use the BLADE module in aeronautics?

In the aerospace sector, where tolerances are extremely tight and part geometries often complex, the BLADE module offers a reliable solution for ensuring the conformity of critical components. It enables early detection of non-conformities, reducing the cost of rework and rejects, while guaranteeing aircraft safety and performance.
