Abstract:

A Low Pressure Turbine (LPT) unit docking technology for aero-engine final installation based on digital twinning is proposed. The parallel process of both 3D virtual docking simulation and the real docking is given synchronously by digital twin technology. The 3D LPT unit docking simulation platform is realized by modeling the physical object of environment and process. The data between the 3D simulation platform and the physical object are mapping and interconnecting by multi-purpose sensors. Through visualization display and analysis of data in 3D simulation platform, real-time position adjustment decisions for LPT unit docking are making and done by the physical terminal control device. The 3D virtual docking simulation and real time data tracking shows better visibility and predictability of the docking process, which provide data for the onsite technical engineer to do the decision during the installation process, ensuring the precisely installation without collisions, and reducing the labor intensity of the operator.
