What is TrueBuild?</B></I></div> <div> <I>TrueBuild is a Rotor Stacking Program (RSP) for jet engine and gas turbine engine assembly. TrueBuild was originally developed in 2003 for assembly of the Trent family of fan-jet engines. TrueBuild can stack an unlimited number of components, each with up to 50 possible stacking positions, using geometric data drawn from the Paragon Database or through a software interface module to a Customer database.</I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>2. How does TrueBuild differ from other RSP's?</B></I></div> <div> <I>Most RSPs are hard coded to stack one particular type or configuration of rotor. By use of a flexible User interface, TrueBuild can be used to stack all types of jet engine and stationary gas turbine rotors.  </I><I>For engine types that require the stacking of sub-assemblies prior to final stacking, TrueBuild allows sub-assemblies to be saved to a database for later recall and stacking. </I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>3. How does TrueBuild optimize the stack?</B></I></div> <div> <I>The stack can be optimized using seven (7) weighted Quality parameters that guide TrueBuild's fast-settling Heuristic toward a desired optimization. This allows maximum flexibility in tailoring the stack to the Customer's specific application. </I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>5. Can the User specify how TrueBuild is to work?</B></I></div> <div> <I>All assembly parameters, including the Quality parameters, are completely User programmable through use of an Edit Module. This eliminates costly and time-consuming vendor programming, making TrueBuild ideal for not only production assembly but prototyping and R&Dl. Templates may be built for individual engine types which can be recalled for reuse, speeding assembly. Orientation conventions are fully compatible with the Rolls-Royce and other manufacturers.</I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>6. Can TrueBuild be modified to suit unique requirements?</B></I></div> <div> <I>Yes. TrueBuild software is modular and TM can modify it to suit the User's special parts, processes, Quality Assurance databases, or other requirements. </I><I>StraightBuild</I><I> is a special TrueBuild variation designed for Users who must stack using the Rolls-Royce “Two Part Optimization” process.</I></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id30.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE=" STACKING"><U><B><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b7011800000000.png" HEIGHT="19" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">TrueBuild Home</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id102.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE=" TrueBuild SPECS"><U><B><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b7011800000000.png" HEIGHT="19" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">TrueBuild Specs</B></U></A></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
