Using controlled hydro-pneumatic pressure,
Brakemaster automates steel aircraft brake disassembly and assembly.
The entire process becomes much
quicker.
To de-pad a 24-pad unit takes as little as 25 seconds and the re-pad process takes less than 3 minutes.
The entire process is safer, cleaner and more reliable than using manual techniques.
It also reduces the risk of damage to the stator itself.
Brakemaster simplifies and de-skills the de-padding and re-padding elements of brake overhaul. By automating the procedure, an unskilled operator can
safely disassemble and assemble steel brakes in a fraction
of the time currently taken by a skilled worker.
The entire process occurs behind a Makrolon guard,
and minimises manual handling, so the operator can work in complete safety.
The automation process also ensures riveting and de-riveting positions are precisely indexed.
This eliminates the risk of stator damage while ensuring accurate riveting.
A controllable hydro-pneumatic pressing action is employed to de-rivet and re-rivet.
This ensures a consistent force is applied in each application so component quality can be assured.
Using a pressing action, rather than drilling, eliminates the need to clean swarf-clogged drill bits.
Swarf is eradicated as punched out rivets are collected under the machine.
Vacuum extraction is also offered as an option should dust removal be required. |
