IBD HCF - Life Cycle Management Software

Monitor HCF Risk

The engine environment can be hard on IBDs. Over their lifetime blades may wear, erode, or be damaged by foreign objects that are drawn through the engine. These changes can dramatically increase a part’s risk of developing HCF problems. Blade Diagnostics helps you monitor and control HCF risk over the lifetime of your parts.

Detect High Risk IBDs

EzVIBES automated evaluations allows the quick assessment of the HCF health of IBDs at scheduled maintenance intervals and after repairs. This routine monitoring detects potential HCF problems before parts fail, reduces maintenance costs, and improves fleet readiness.

Repair High Risk IBDs

Blade Diagnostics’ Life Cycle Management System extends beyond simply monitoring the fleet and flagging at-risk parts. If an IBD is found to have a high risk of developing HCF problems, Blade Diagnostics tools can guide repairs to reduce the part’s vibration levels so it can safely be returned to service.

Root Cause Analysis

If an IBD is found to have a high risk of developing HCF problems, Blade Diagnostics’ tools guide repairs to reduce the part’s vibration levels and return it safely into service.
