Overview
Borescope inspections require now only one technician and and no hours of hand-cranking. FutureDrive NG+, replaces manual turning with a Rolls-Royce-certified electronic drive that delivers fast, accurate, single-person inspections. The unit’s upgraded motor and electronics let you dial in up to 999 bi-directional turns, stop on any blade, flag a defect and return—without losing position. Packed in a rugged wheeled case, it plugs into any global power source and is ready to run in minutes.
Use Cases
- One-technician borescope inspections on CFM56-5/-7, GE9X, GEnx-1B/-2B, LEAP-1A/B/C, GP7200, CF6, CF34-10, LM2500, AE2100 and the entire Rolls-Royce Trent family (500-XWB).
- Scheduled shop visits or on-wing line checks where labour hours and turn-round time are critical.
- Remote AOG situations—self-seeking power supply operates on any worldwide voltage.
