Airborne Maintenance MRO Selects Intercomp Low-Profile Scales
August 7, 2020
“Intercomp was recommended to Airborne by a major U.S. airline,” said Jon Arnold, Market Specialist at Intercomp. “The uptime reliability and superior accuracy offered by our solid-state technology is proven and widely used among airlines, MROs, and airframe manufacturers worldwide. The customer had deep experience with load cell technology and expressed preference for a strain gauge solution.”
Airborne Maintenance and Engineering Services provides a fully integrated suite of services to airlines and operators including heavy maintenance, line maintenance, material sales and service, component repair and overhaul, manufacturing and engineering services. As with most MROs, the agility to easily and accurately weigh a number of different aircraft figures prominently in the scale they utilize. "In the case of Airborne, portability and longevity of the scale were vital considerations, as well as Intercomp’s ability to quickly marshal and install the scale to meet immediate demands," Arnold added.
From a productivity and ease-of-use perspective, Intercomp’s solid-state load cell technology eliminates scale warm-up time, mitigates side loads and removes the need for centering of tires on the active weighing platform. Offering 0.1% accuracy and the highest levels of repeatability, the AC60-LP™ is used in sets of 3 to 24 scales to accommodate weight and balance operations for narrow and widebody aircraft with wheel weights up to 60,000 lb (30,000 kg) or more. The scales are low profile to minimize towing distance for ramps and single person portable for fast deployment and storage.
