BOROSCOPE PLUGS
PLUGS DETAILS
A self locking plug provides a safe and secure seal for the various borescope inspection ports placed around the turbine engine case for borescope inspection of the engine
At JPB système, we offer a creative and effective lockwireless solution to the current issues associated with borescope plugs.
JPB système’s Borescope plugs are very simple and efficient. They completely replace the safety cable or lockwire, increasing efficiency by the use of standard tools and drastically reducing downtime; human error and overall risks.
HOW DOES IT WORK
ADVANTAGES
Simple, Efficient and Cost saving in maintenance
Self-locks during assembly
Standard tools - No training need
Highly reusable
Retrofit solution
Improves maintainability
Reduces maintenance cycle line
Security for the technician by reducing risk
Reduction of seating torque
APPLICATION AND TEST
JPB système can completely customize and design its borescope plugs to fit your specific engine needs.
Retrofit's Solutions are possible. (i.e.: for the CFM56-5B and CFM56-7 product).
Plugs are easily adapted to areas where it is complicated to use lock wire and are available for any stage of the engine.
Our engineers test our products in house and in the field with our customers on many engines.
TESTING PROCESS
HOW WE TEST OUR BORESCOPE PLUGS
Vibration endurance
Leak and pollution test
Torque test
High temp cycle endurance
All other required tests...
SHAKING TABLE
Sine Test 3Hz at 4000Hz
Level 1G at 100G cc
Sweep : 2 octaves/min
On the right: a standard plug (without JPB système's Technology) torqued by hand.
On the left: a JPB système's plug NOT torqued, with locking tabs just engaged (Worst Condition).
ENDURANCE TEST
Resonance fequency of the spring
This is the most critical frequency. We run the shaking table at 525 Hz with acceleration 50G cc.
Note: The resonance phenomenon is visible with the stroboscope light. Result: More that 3 million of cycles passed with success.
SELF-LOCKING TEST
The plug will automatically lock on the second turn if the first one failed
