Tip Timing and Tip Clearance

We have the expertise

Let our Experts Work for You

Our engineers have spent close to the past 20 years designing and developing blade tip timing systems and other general instrumentation for rotating machinery for customers while working for a contractor of the United States Air Force. Blade tip timing, which uses the time of arrival of rotor blades to determine engine blade health, was developed at Arnold Engineering Development Complex at Arnold AFB, TN. Our company was founded to enhance and commercialize this technology and bring the same quality hardware, software, and services to industry while maintaining excellent value for our customers.

With our new “V” series data acquisition hardware and software, NCT provides the state-of-the-art in tip timing and tip clearance technology. Our vast experience in data acquisition, signal processing, test planning, and structural analysis provides our customers with a complete suite of products and services.
