  1. Use mouse or arrow keys to scroll through presentation. The UniWest 4D Rapid Prototype Product Development System

  2. Overview UniWest’s unique 4D process for rapid prototype development ensures fast solutions to complex application problems: • Define Customer Application Problems • Design Innovative Engineering Model • Develop Solution Driven Prototypes • Deliver Turn Key Solutions

  3. Roller Bearing Inspection System Define Customer Application Problem: In-line inspection of roller bearings that are placed in critical operating applications.

  4. Case Study • Design Innovative Engineering Model • Research showed this hopper and roller bearing transport design to be the best approach.

  5. Solution Driven Develop Solution Driven Prototype. Roller Bearings are shown automatically scanned, defect free and dropping through chute onto tray.

  6. Turn Key Delivery Deliver Turn Key System for in line, defect free roller bearing assemblies.

  7. Aerospace Engine Manufacturing Define Customer Application Problem: More accurate and efficient way to scan hard to reach areas of engine parts.

  8. Aerospace Engine Manufacturing Design Innovative Engineering Model: Several designs were developed for inspection of broach slots.

  9. Aerospace Engine Manufacturing Develop Solution Driven Prototype: Indexed prototype proved to be the best solution for inspecting critical engine parts.

  10. Aerospace Engine Manufacturing Define Customer Application: Inspect geometrically difficult to inspect areas. A flexible probe coil was Designed, Developed and Delivered. It has proven to be a good solution for several difficult to inspect areas.

  11. Aerospace Engine Manufacturing Define Customer Application Problem: A better way to inspect fan blade joints. Design indicated that a swivel handle would work best on this application.

  12. Aerospace Engine Manufacturing Define Customer Application: Inspect critical broach slot areas. An extended field probe was Designed, Developed and Delivered. This design has improved inspection time and repeatability.

  13. Aerospace Engine Manufacturing Define Customer Application Problem: A better way to inspect the leading edge of fan blades. Design proved a focused coil with US-454 EddyView™ worked best.

  14. Airframe Manufacturing Define Customer Application Problem: A better way to inspect the inside diameter of ball screws. In-depth research of the stabilizer arm determined the Design prototype. It proved to be the best solution to detect cracks on the inside diameter of this difficult to inspect part.

  15. General Purpose Bolt Hole Scanner/Indexer Define Customer Application Problem: A bolt hole scanner to rapidly and accurately inspect critical engine parts. UniWest Developed a hand held scanner assembly that keeps the coil perpendicular to the side of the hole. This mechanical assist is more accurate than holding by hand.

  16. Power Generation Define Customer Application Problem: Develop an eddy current instrument that would also have vision and strip chart capabilities. The US-454 EddyView™ is shown inspecting the inside of a valve with the VisionProbe™, and using an eddy current probe to calibrate from a test block.

  17. UniWest Designed this hybrid instrument to include eddy current, video capture and strip chart recorder. Prototype instruments were Developed, modifications were applied and instruments were Delivered on schedule.

  18. Define Customer Application Problem: Need the ability to visually inspect thermally hot environments. UniWest Designed this high temperature vision probe to work with the US-454 EddyView™ eddy current instrument. Develop Solution Driven Prototype: The HiTempProbe™ can withstand temperatures up to 900° F. This complete package was Delivered turn key.

  19. Capabilities: Probe Lab The UniWest probe lab manufactures innovative eddy current prototypes for the NDT industry.

  20. Capabilities: Quality Control The UniWest quality assurance program insures that every probe conforms to customer specifications.

  21. Capabilities: CAD/CAM UniWest’s engineering department uses solid modeling software programs to insure efficiency and repeatability in CNC production.

  22. Capabilities: Engineering UniWest’s engineering lab designing a new applications driven prototype instrument.

  23. Partnerships UniWest has partnerships with local machine shops to assist and developing prototypes efficiently through the use of CAD/CAM, CNC and solid modeling.

  24. Resources • Internal Application Experience - More than 147 years of combined experience - Corporate Commitment to Innovation through Applications Engineering • Customer Partnerships - Proprietary Relationships with our Customers • Vendor Partnerships • Quality System Compliant to AS9100
