Tip Timing is a technique that allows evaluating the amplitude and frequency of the vibrations of the blades from the time of arrival of each of them to the position in which the sensor is located.

01

What is it...

Thanks to the measurement of this parameter, we will get an idea of the structural health of the blades.

02

Applications...

Ensure the proper functioning of the engine, and predict possible failures due to blade fatigue or damage due to impacts.
03

Advantages...

The optical sensors used offer the following advantages over other sensors used for this purpose: insensitivity to electromagnetic interference, reduced weight and size, high sensitivity, resolution and bandwidth.
04

Innovation...

The designed optical sensor allows performing TC and TT measurements using a single sensor, with the consequent saving both in installation-calibration times and in economic expense.
