January 2010: Depot Level Maintenance Development
 
Depot Level Maintenance
Development
 
Derco has a universal approach to depot level infrastructure development, and the shops we design have capabilities that include F-16, C-130, P-3, UH-60,a AH-64, CH-47 military platforms, and A320, B737, B777 and CRJ commercial platforms.
 
Capability development typically would have the following elements:

 
Test System
Capital process equipment such as compressors, heat exchangers, power supplies, etc. These are typically arranged around the periphery of the workshop, and support multiple test stands.
 
Test Stands
Equipment where units under test (UUT) are attached during the functional test. Derco takes a universal approach to their design, so a maximum amount of units can be tested on each test stand.
 
Test Adapters
These allow for installing different UUT to a common test stand, and consist of test carts, mounting adapters, and electrical test interface boxes.
 
Tooling
Special unit specific tooling that are defined in the tech data, to allow effective repair and overhaul.
 
Training
Derco can create and deliver a custom training module per component. This consists of a training video, training manual, and hands-on training either at Derco in Milwaukee, or at the customer’s location.
 
The general shop infrastructure could include the following areas in a typical shop layout:

 
Pneumatics
 
• Pneumatic valve test system

• Universal hydraulic component test stand
• Universal F-16 landing gear fixture
