Objective
Turbine blades are very expensive alloy components produced at high temperatures. Either due to normal wear or accidental damage, turbine blades require repairing. The repair process includes welding of the damaged parts of the blade. Then, the blades are hand finished down to their nominative dimensions.
The continuous increase of the repair market, requires from the companies involved specialised technology in order to reduce the repair cost and to increase productivity.
AMATEUR is aiming at the development of an integrated solution for the finishing phase of the repair process which is the most difficult and critical one.
The technological solutions to these problems lie in the domain of mechatronics. They involve force controlled actuators, 3D data capturing and advanced machine programming.
The project will therefore deal with the development of - a 3D measurement laser sensor offering an accuracy of 0,02 mm;
- specific software tools for blades modelling and robot off-line programming;
- path planning software for the finishing process;
- process control software for adaptive grinding and milling.
The concept of adaptive finishing through the use of machine tools (including robots), used by AMATEUR, promises to create a breakthrough in the domain of machining. The implementation of this technology in robot grinding and 5-axis milling will ensure the repeatability of the finishing process, the precision of the part dimensions, the improvement of the repair quality as well as reduction of the repair time and cost.
