CNR Services International Ltd delivers leading-edge engineering design services to a widerange of industry sectors. From concept generation and development, through the design andoptimisation of the product, to the effective integration into the manufacturing process, CNR'sdedicated team of specialist engineers, designers and scientists help customers achieve theresults they are looking for.There is a large global fleet of helicopters in service with a significant and acceleratinggrowth of new-build helicopters being added to the market over the next decade and beyond.A key element of helicopter manufacture and heavy maintenance is the accurate alignment ofthe helicopter’s transmission shafts. The methods used currently for this are manual and verytime-consuming.CNR sees an opportunity to design and supply equipment to automate these processesproviding users with a significantly quicker and more accurate method of aligning helicoptertransmission shafts than is currently available. If successful, the CNR-designed AutomatedTransmission Laser Alignment System (ATLAS) will have a significant market impact.This project will investigate the market to understand the commercial viability and potentialmarket for the CNR ATLAS system.Users of the ATLAS system will see significant process, operational and financial benefits by:reducing helicopter manufacturing costs and lead times; reducing helicopter maintenancecosts and lead times; reducing operational noise to the benefit of aircrew (health and safety)and passengers (premium ride perception); increasing the serviceable life of componentssaving costs and being environmentally beneficial.These benefits to helicopter operators, manufacturers and 3rd party repair and overhaulorganisations are the critical issues to be assessed through this project.

CNR Services International Ltd为广泛的工业部门提供领先的工程设计服务。从概念的产生和开发，到产品的设计和优化，再到有效地集成到制造过程中，中国北车的专业工程师团队，设计师和科学家帮助客户实现他们正在寻找的结果。有一个大型的全球直升机机队在服务与新的显着和加速增长，直升机制造和大修的一个关键要素是直升机传动轴的精确对准。目前使用的方法是手动的，非常耗时。CNR看到了设计和供应设备的机会，使这些过程自动化，为用户提供比目前更快，更准确的方法来调整齿轮传动轴。如果成功，CNR设计的自动传输激光对准系统（ATLAS）将产生重大的市场影响。本项目将调查市场，以了解CNR ATLAS系统的商业可行性和潜在市场。ATLAS系统的用户将看到显着的过程，操作和财务效益：降低直升机制造成本和交货期，减少直升机维修成本和交货期，降低运行噪音，有利于机组人员（健康和安全）和乘客（优质乘坐体验）;延长部件的使用寿命，节约成本，对环境有益。这些对直升机运营商、制造商和第三方维修和大修组织的好处是通过该项目评估的关键问题。
