I ndustry N ews Tube inspection throughput PFW Aerospace, UK, has installed four ITP Group Tube inspection systems at its site to cope with the stringent inspection requirements of Rolls Royce Aero Engines. On PFW’s latest contracts, Rolls Royce only need supply 3D CAD models of tube assemblies – without the need for fixtures or drawings. PFW uses the ITP Group Pipe Software to extract the tube and fitting data from the CAD model and then export the data to its tube benders and CMMs with no keyboard data entry required. The ITP Group systems are used for initial tube inspection, fitting orientation and final pass-off. Rolls Royce praised PFW Aerospace’s achievements, stating that the integrated production system based around the ITPGroupmachineswas groundbreaking, and that they had never seen the level of throughput achieved at any other company.
