By focusing on safety and cost of ownership, the modernization and upgrade
team can work with individual customers to develop and implement cost
effective solutions. Our retrofit programs are designed to improve reliability
and increase commonality of equipment fleet-wide at lower cost (payback achieved
under one year, dependent on program and fleet).
Reliability and maintenance improvement products are explained in detail in
brochures for
Airbus A320
or
Boeing 737.

Boeing 737 Battery Charger
|
|
ELDEC has developed a new, advanced Battery Charger Upgrade
(part number 8-930)
for the Boeing 737-600/700/800/900, 747-400, 757 and 767 aircraft. It is a form,
fit and function replacement for the existing ELDEC battery chargers on these
airplanes. |

AACU Upgrade for Boeing 737 Carbon Brake
|
|
Boeing has certified new Carbon Brakes for production and field retrofit for the
737NG aircraft series. This Carbon Brake option reduces the aircraft weight by
300-700 pounds (136 to 318 kg) depending on aircraft model and airframe
configuration. Crane Aerospace & Electronics new Antiskid/Auto-Brake Control Unit
(AACU), part number 142-147, is designed to work with the Carbon Brakes. |

|
C-130 Carbon Brake Antiskid Upgrade
|
|
Crane Aerospace & Electronics is under contract to develop a new
anti-skid brake control system
for the US Air Force C-130 legacy, non-J model fleet.
Incorporation of the new anti-skid system, along with new wheels and carbon
brakes, will result in significant improvement in wheel life and substantial
improvement in brake wear life. |

|
Boeing 737 Titanium Proximity Sensor 80-207-01
|
|
The new Crane Aerospace and Electronics proximity sensor for the Boeing 737
offers an enhanced titanium design
that greatly improves the sensor reliability
in the most harsh sensor locations.

Airbus
A320 Landing Gear Control Interface Unit (LGCIU)
|
|
Airbus and Crane have developed the Enhanced Landing Gear Control Indication Unit
(LGCIU) PN 80-178-001-88012 which will soon replace the current unit.

Tire Pressure
|
|
|
Wireless Tire Pressure Monitoring System
|
|
Maintaining proper tire pressure is very important both to aircraft safety and
economics.
SmartStem®
is a wireless sensor built into the tire’s inflation stem that makes the daily
tire pressure check quick, easy, accurate, and automatically documented.

Tire and Brake Monitoring System (TBMS)
|
|
Crane’s
Tire and Brake Monitoring System
has been standard on all B777’s since Q2 2007. Crane’s system provides benefits over older 777 installations by combining the
TPMU and BTMU functions into a single Tire Brake Monitoring Unit (TBMU),
eliminating an avionics unit. The tire temperature/pressure correction is done
in the TBMU to provide an accurate tire pressure check without waiting for
cooling down period.
