Engines/Module Services: The Air Force Center of Industrial and Technical Excellence for Propulsion is situated in the heart of the United States and offers total fleet management services. We are a global provider of an array of M²RO capabilities all in one location. Our experts can provide engine, module, and Quick Engine Change component disassembly and assembly, as well as removal, replacement, and installation of line replaceable units. We can tailor support to your needs. Some of the frequently requested services include blade grinding, rotor balancing and static/dynamic balance, moment weighing flow rate verification, precision measurements and torque, decoking of oil lines, vibration trim balance surveys and fuel nozzle exchange.

Component Services: PMXG offers a variety of component services. Our core capabilities include stripping, cleaning, inspection, welding, a variety of spray, rubber and composite repairs, plating, machining and manufacturing, corrosion control and coating application. Inspection services feature the Automated Eddy Current, including phased array, Automated Ultrasonic Inspection (UTI), X-Ray, Vibro Thermography, 4D inpsection, and Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) dimensional inspection processes. PMXG also provides Level 1 Bearing Inspection and AMS 2750 Compliant Heat treatment. Our welding capabilities include laser, electron beam and Direct Energy Depostion (DED). Spray capabilities include thermal, plasma, HVOF, flame, wire and cold. We also provide expertise in 5 Axis precision machining and grinding, bladetip griding, smart blend for Integrated Blade Rotors (IBRs) and laser drilling.

Innovation Repair Capabilities: PMXG’s Engineering services have a combined 100+ years of experience. They work to leverage new and old techniques that eliminate diminishing Sources of Supply. Our Repair Development engineers specialize in engineered maskings, for example uniquely designed polymer masking for in-process part protection of thermal spray and plating processes, as well as rapid prototyping and tooling manufacturing (tolling, fixtures, masking). Our Group Additive Repair Capabilities include DED, laser cladding, cold spray, thermal spray and welding. The Innovative Repair Capabilities from PMXG are comprised of Polymer 3D Printing, hybrid additive/machining, robotics and automation, measurement (scanning and Mobile CMM) and augmented/virtual reality; with the latest industry technologies being added to our portfolio daily.

Engine Test Services: The 76th PMXG’s engine testing capabilities consist of computer-controlled testing, Tear-down Deficiency Report (TDR), reclamation of engines, and engine trailer repair. The TDR encompasses a complete teardown of engine mishaps and investigation management reporting. Our reclamation and trailer repair processes include engine teardown, material and parts processing, and engine trailer repair. Test cell specifications include 8-meter test cells capable of 0-1 of 0-100,000 lbs of thrust with an air flow of 4000 lbs/second and 5-meter test cells with the capability of 0-50,000 lbs of thrust and air flow of 425-550 lbs/second.

Supply Chain: Resilience is ensured though supply chain risk management, obsolescence management and collaborative, integrated planning with enterprise partners. Resourcefulness comes from our alternative sourcing strategy to tackle supportability concerns, extensive continuous relationships with a wide variety of internal and external partners, and funding with flexible, non-profit, competitive rates. Finally, our supply chain maintains a high level of responsiveness by implementing innovative approaches to address future challenges, surge capability, accurate and timely logistics data, and the sustainment of engineering capabilities to address unique challenges.
