After the successful overhaul of a jet engine, maintenance engineers run the engine in a state-of-the-art quality assurance test cell. Overhead hoists lift the heavy engine from an adaptor and carry it to the test cell fixture.

The AccuRange 4000-LV sensor reports critical range information so the maintenance engineers can clear fixed obstacles and gently deliver the heavy engine into a secure fixture. The company has been using Acuity products since 1998.

This application is similar to that used to measure crains and hoists in the steel industry or shipping industry
