Abstract

A blade holder for holding blades on an integrally bladed rotor has two legs located outboard of the blade in its installed position. A collar on each blade has holes for bolting the collar to the holder. Visual alignment is possible and access to the blade for optical temperature scanning is provided. After bonding a blade to the rotor, rotation of the rotor to the next bonding position is possible without removal of the holder.
