PropScan®…..
Towards Propeller Perfection!
PropScan® is a
revolutionary marine propeller inspection system that enables propellers to be
manufactured, repaired or modified to very high levels of accuracy.
Propeller pitch accuracy has historically been a difficult task to complete,
primarily because manual measurement tools could only measure at specific
predetermined points, at any given blade radii. Areas outside and between these
specific points therefore cannot be easily measured or accurately modified and
verified.
PropScan® computerised
pitch measuring equipment can ensure radial pitch accuracy and blade surface
geometry can be consistently and continuously measured using a probe which
rotates over the blade surface and feeds measured pitch data (for every degree
of rotation), directly into the computer for detailed analysis. Accuracy as
close as 0.001” mean pitch is possible and propellers can be modified to a
higher ‘CLASS’ of accuracy as defined by ISO 484/2 (the international standard
of propeller classification).
