Probes

Rakes are available in 4 different types: Multi-hole, Static Pressure, Total Pressure & Temperature.

Details

All different probe heads (multi-hole, static pressure, total pressure, temperature) can be combined into one probe rake, offering the customer higher spatial resolution in just one probe.
Here, too, the additive manufacturing process offers great geometric freedom, allowing the rakes to be adapted precisely to the application or the measuring points to be integrated into other components while achieving maximum mechanical strength.
Vectoflow develops the design of the rakes based on customer requirements and supported by FEM simulations. Furthermore, Vectoflow performs various verification steps to determine and validate properties such as roughness, geometric accuracy, cracking (X-ray or FPI examinations), natural frequencies.
