In a typical testing situation with a current TM customer, the User's assembly program requires seven surfaces be measured on each compressor wheel. With a system which can take only four measurements at one time, three setups are needed to complete the test program as the two datum measurements are duplicated each time to insure accuracy. </B><B>(See below.)</B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B><IMG SRC="569da2d0.png" border=0 width="474" height="301" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Generic compressor wheel cross-section with seven surfaces measured from 3 setups.</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>With Paragon V2 these measurements can be made from one setup, making analysis easier and ensuring real time comparisons of datum and non-datum data. With this added capability comes no loss of accuracy - Paragon V2 continues to measure each surface over half a million times to accurately characterize the part. This tremendous speed is due in part to Paragon's multiple microprocessor structure and Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) which deliver statistically relevant data is to true 16 bit A-D converters in a steady stream, without gaps from operating system interrupts and free of anomalous values. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B><IMG SRC="56b2c510.jpg" border=0 width="300" height="337" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="50" VSPACE="0"></B><B>Mechanical setups for eight channel testing may be aided by the use of twin column units </B><B>(left)</B><B> arranged at a fixed angle.

Results are calculated and displayed factoring the offset angles, as if all eight gauge heads were aligned vertically at the same index position.</B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#CC6600" FACE="Verdana" ><B>DOWNLOAD</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Verdana" ><B> a PDF of this article in:</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#CC6600" FACE="Verdana" ><B> </B></FONT>     <A HREF="http://www.turbinemetrology.com/P-8CHANNEL.pdf" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.turbinemetrology.com/P-8CHANN"><U><IMG SRC="cbe27140.png" border=0 width="39" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A> </div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id54.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="CIRCULAR GEOMETRY"><U><IMG SRC="c69621e0.png" border=0 width="98" height="30" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
