The L-733 Precision Triple Scan® Laser is an ideal
instrument for numerous aerospace applications. It offers three automatically
rotating laser planes with plenty of accuracy to meet today's ever-tightening
tolerances. This patented technology creates a powerful tool to not only
MEASURE, but also FIX alignment problems in a fraction of the time needed
with conventional methods.
The laser can be set up to any two of the three main reference criteria
of the aircraft simultaneously, (automatically if desired) making it possible
to work in all three planes at the same time. The entire reference system
can also be easily transferred from buttock line to buttock line or station
plane to station plane. Most jobs can be accomplished from one central
location because the laser planes extend 100 feet (30.5 meters) in radius
from the laser head.
Seat
Track Alignment
The critical need for the seat tracks to be both in a straight line and
parallel to one another becomes an easy task when using the L-733. The
system can easily make two seat tracks straight and parallel up to 200'
long. It takes a fraction of the time normally required using old fashion
methods and requires less manpower to do it.
Align
Multiple Aircraft Sections Using Multiple Targets
Multiple targets may be used at the same time, allowing various sections
of the aircraft to come together to a common reference on both sides.
For example, stowage bins on both sides of the interior can be aligned
simultaneously using multiple work crews.
Live Data Instantly Displays Alignment Moves
As with all HLI laser products, the alignment data is live, which means
the movement of components during alignment can be seen instantaneously.
With multiple targets and live data, the task of aligning large aircraft
components becomes much more efficient. That means more planes roll off
the line each month.
Automatic Buck-In System
Several years ago, HLI developed a system for a large commercial aircraft
builder in Northwestern US that uses wireless targets to automatically
buck in the laser system to reference points. The laser then stays on
those reference points even if the floor supporting the laser moves. This
is especially useful when work crews' movements inside the aircraft cause
the floors to temporarily move.
Wireless
Targets Speed Alignments
Even if using the manual buck-in system, our 2 new lines of wireless targets
eliminate long extension cords for reference targets. The targets work
with all of our continuously rotating laser plane systems and can be used
up to 100 feet (30.5 meters) from the laser.
The first new target line (A-1531, A-1532, and A-1533)
features: built-in readouts, 0.001" (0.02 mm) resolution and up to 3"
(75 mm) of measuring range.
The second line (A-1519. A-1519HR and A-1520) features:
wireless communication to a Cassiopeia PDA (R-1309), which can display
up to 4 targets simultaneously, resolutions down to 0.00002" (0.0005 mm)
and up to a 1" (25 mm) measuring range. Other features like electronic
zeroing and target averaging help to speed alignments.
