How the Aviation Industry Solves Vibration and Balancing Challenges
The aviation industry spends significant amounts of time and money on problems caused by engine vibration. Imbalance, the most common cause of engine vibration, happens because of bird strikes and other impacts, but also because of natural wear and corrosion that redistribute mass. In turn, out-of-balance parts can result in cabin noise, metal fatigue, and cracked turbine, fan, or compressor components. In the most extreme cases, catastrophic engine failure may result MTI Instruments, a worldwide supplier of precision measurement solutions, makes equipment for monitoring vibration levels and balancing rotors. For maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) crews who want to [...]
MTI Instruments is making its global presence known in Singapore
Click Here to View Ways to Use 1510A with the PBS-4100+ Join MTI Instruments at the Singapore Expo Convention and Exhibition Centre from September 24th to September 26th, 2019. Visit MTI Instruments in Booth #756 at the premiere event in Asia Pacific for the commercial air-transport maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) industry, to see its PBS-4100 line of vibration and balancing systems. Aircraft engine vibrations caused by out-of-balance parts can lead to cracked fan, turbine, and compressor components. Imbalance-induced vibrations can also cause metal fatigue and, if left unchecked, engine failure. Pinpointing the source of vibrations can be challenging [...]

Proforma 300i SA Video Shows Semiconductor Metrology
MTI Instruments, a worldwide leader in precision measurement solutions, has released a YouTube video that shows how its Proforma™ 300i SA semi-automated measurement tool measures silicon carbide wafers for semiconductors. George Relan, MTI’s Global Director of Sales, demonstrates how the desktop metrology system provides non-contact full wafer scanning and 3D mapping of measurement features such as thickness and shape. MTI’s video also shows how the Proforma 300i SA interfaces with an external computer and provides powerful Windows-based software for analysis and reporting. By utilizing MTI push/pull technology, the Proforma 300i SA doesn’t require the semiconductor wafers to have a [...]
MRO Americas 2019: Engine Vibration Analysis from MTI Instruments (Booth #2301)
MTI Instruments, a U.S.-based manufacturer of engine vibration analysis and balancing systems, will exhibit at MRO Americas 2019 from April 9 to 11 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia (USA). Visit MTI Instruments in Booth #2301 at MRO Americas, the premiere event for the commercial air-transport maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) industry, to see its PBS-4100 line of vibration and balancing systems. MTI instruments will also give away a 1501A precision signal/function generator. Aircraft engine vibrations caused by out-of-balance parts can lead to cracked fan, turbine, and compressor components. Imbalance-induced vibrations can also cause metal fatigue [...]

Navy Orders Avionics Test and Measurement Systems
The U.S. Navy wants new avionics test and measurement systems. Under the terms of a $109-million award, the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division in Lakehurst, New Jersey will buy 41 electronic consolidated automated support systems (eCASS) from Lockheed Martin. This test and measurement equipment helps soldiers and Marines troubleshoot and repair aviation electronics while at sea. Avionics, the electronics used in aircraft, support essential navigation and communications functions. With military aircraft, avionics typically include electro-optical, infrared, and other types of sensors for airborne radar, weapons systems, and heads-up displays. Military avionics also need to support electronic warfare systems, [...]
Oiling System Uses Capacitive Sensing to Detect Water Contamination
Water contamination can reduce the life of lubricants and increase the frequency of maintenance and repairs. If corrective action isn’t taken before an out-of-limit incident occurs, operational costs can escalate. When unplanned maintenance disrupts operations, productivity suffers and technicians may focus on a quick fix instead of the root cause. To detect water contamination in oil systems, in-line capacitance probes can be used. These flexible, off-the-shelf devices provide automatic and continuous monitoring. Yet checking moisture levels isn’t just about enhancing reliability or eliminating corrosion. In-line capacitance probes improve operations by supporting a proactive approach to maintenance. How In-Line Capacitance [...]
The Top Five Trends Impacting Test and Measurement for 2019
With 2019 upon us, we know everyone is thinking about what's next in the Test and Measurement industry. We also know that without test and measurement equipment, engineers can't accurately and consistently prove that their mechanical or electronic devices perform as required. When they don't work, engineers also need to determine why and how to fix them. All of this leads to innovative thinking on how to test and measure even better by taking advantage of rapidly growing trends such as digitization, software, additive manufacturing, the Internet of Things (IoT), and new sensing applications that are driving advances in T&M.
