Abstract
This invention pertains to an automatic method and apparatus for ascertaining the mass-moment of a blade of a jet engine. It encompasses robotic means to transport the blade from its loading station to the weighing station where its mass-moment is computed via a computer. Afterwards, the blade is returned to the loading station where the cycle begins over again.
