Rotor Tower Systems Development and Consulting.  With over 20 year of active participation in helicopter rotor blade tower programs and systems SWANGATE INTERNATIONAL is in the unique position to assist clients to develop, upgrade, and plan for the future.

WT-BladeMaster provides rotor towers, helicopter rotor blade whirl stands, with the most up to date and technically advanced blade tracking system available for do a demanding and highly accurate quality assurance dynamic testing of helicopter in the world today. 

The WT-BladeMaster System 6 is a highly versatile productive tool for use in helicopter rotor blade manufacturing and repair testing facilities (rotor tower or whirl stand).  The WT-BladeMaster dynamically tracks helicopter rotor blades to an accuracy of plus or minus 1/8 inch or better. 

The  WT-BladeMaster system primary purpose is to provide precision blade track data to helicopter rotor blade production, rework, and test organizations. 

The primary blade tracking device is an infrared line scan camera (LSC), and the primary control device is a digital computer. 

The WT-BladeMaster Tower System has four major functional groups, these are:

A.        Control Room Subsystem - The Control Room Subsystem elements provide the operator interface and system control.  Sub-elements of the control room subsystem connect to long run cables.

B.        Tower Subsystem - The Tower Subsystem elements place the cameras in position to collect track data, provide environmental protection for the tracking camera, decode and distribute control signals to the support sub elements, and interface to the long run cables.

C.   Long Run Cables - The long run cables simply transfer the electrical signals between junction boxes serving the Control Room and Tower Subsystems.

D.        The Backplane Subsystem - The backplane subsystem provides a basic background for the line scan camera to view the rotor blades in both day and night time operations.
