OSCO Controls’ Precision Control System for Aerospace Engine Lift
Challenge
An aerospace manufacturer required a specialized lifting solution to handle jet engines during maintenance and testing. The system needed to ensure precise positioning and secure locking mechanisms to maintain safety and efficiency during operations.
Solution
Autoquip developed a pit-mounted engine lift equipped with automated locking pins to secure the platform at various heights. To control these locking pins, OSCO Controls engineered a custom control panel system. This system integrated advanced programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and sensors to monitor and manage the locking mechanisms accurately. The control panel provided real-time feedback, ensuring that the locking pins engaged and disengaged precisely when required, thus maintaining the platform’s stability during engine handling.
Result
The collaboration resulted in a lifting system that met the stringent requirements of the aerospace industry. The integration of OSCO Controls’ advanced control panel ensured reliable and safe operation of the automated locking pins, enhancing the overall functionality of the engine lift. This project exemplifies the successful partnership between Autoquip and OSCO Controls in delivering tailored solutions for complex industrial applications.
