Aerotec’s tear down area involves many steps. once the APU arrives at our door, the customer’s paperwork is reviewed. The unit is then boroscoped and pre-tested if necessary.
Accessories are then routed for pre-test and are disassembled to the necessary level so that an evaluation can be made.
Each of our shop managers personally reviews each aspect of the APU repair process. The evaluation that is made will allow us to pass the cost savings to our customers while maintaining a high quality product. The evaluation is then sent to the customer for review and approval.
INSPECTION
Aerotec’s Inspection department is responsible for maintaining the highest level of quality control. One of the procedures we have implemented, that we believe is unique to our company, is the participation of our disassembly mechanics in the inspection process.
The Director of Maintenance, Quality Manager, and the Overhaul and Rework Shop Managers will also review the disassembly / inspection findings.
INSPECTION EQUIPMENT
Our inspection department has all the precision equipment necessary to achieve air worthiness compliance.
Coordinate Measuring Machine
The Coordinate measuring machine is a state of the art piece of equipment which enables the operator to measure angles, contours, curves, inside and outside diameters, and multiple dimensions on simple and complex parts of various sizes with a high amount of accuracy. This machine, connected to a personal computer, ensures proper documentation of all measurements and inspection results.
Optical Comparitors
The Optical comparitors provide magnified views of 10 power and more of profiles and surfaces allowing high accuracy measurement of various sized parts using a non-contact method.
In-house Non-destructive Test
The In-house Non-destructive test uses liquid penetrants, type 1, methods A, C and D, to inspect on cast, wrought and welded assemblies for the detection of discontinuities open to the surface.
Magnetic particle inspection
Magnetic particle inspection is a non-destructive testing method using AC and DC currents to detect surface and near surface discontinuities in ferrous metal materials.
