Helicopter Blade Repair-Maintenance Systems

PART NUMBER : DDS1030
Helicopter Blade Repair-Maintenance Systems benches facilitate the bonding of the titanium plate in the DE-ICE system of Sikorsky Helicopter's rotor blades with controlled temperature and pressure. These benches are equipped with the hardware that ensures the positioning of the blade during the bonding process, allow for localized temperature control, and ensure the curing process is completed evenly across the blade with consistent pressure after bonding.

Overview
  • Achieve adhesive bonding and curing of the sheath assembly on helicopter blades all within a single workstation
  • Once the process is completed, weight measurements are taken to ensure accurate weight & balance criteria
  • Suitable for blades up to 9 meters, accommodating sheath assembly replacements including de-icing systems with ease
  • The 2-axis, servo-controlled workstation seamlessly transfers the helicopter blade between the adhesive and curing stations;
  • The first station employs a meticulous sheath assembly removal using a vacuum technique, ensuring precision and safety of the product
  • The second station utilizes a heating blanket to ensure effective curing
  • Equipped with a PID-controlled heating infrastructure, it guarantees even temperature distribution throughout the blade
  • An innovative rubber cover wraps around the blade; when air pressure is applied, the cover adapts to the blade's external geometry, ensuring consistent pressure regardless of the blade's shape
  • The integrated HMI panel offers real-time monitoring, control, and verification of the entire process
