Eliminate manual labor and accelerate manufacture of engine blades

Develop non-standard equipment to speed up the manufacture of gas turbine engine blades

Goals

We received a request from the United Engine Corporation, located in Moscow. They wanted to automate one of the manufacture stages of gas turbine engine blades that had been done manually for years, thus slowing down the entire production process.

construction

JSC United Engine Corporation (UEC)

JSC UEC develops engines for military and civil aviation, space programs, the navy, as well as the oil and gas industry and energy sector.

Solution

We understood that the engine blades have a non-standard figured shape, and sheet cutting would not be suitable in this case. Taking into account all the aspects, our specialists developed in a few months a five-axis laser machine SMART 5D, which had a number of advantages, such as:

LASSARD solid state laser
electromagnetic motors
fully interpolated 5 axes
domestic CNC with touch display
360 degrees parts processing
work at focal lengths of 100\150\200 mm
automatic conversion of a 3D model of a part into machine control program

Result

The five-axis machine arrived at the UEC holding company and has been already put into operation!

The technologies developed for this installation make it possible to manufacture five-axis machines for solving a wider range of problems, not only in engine building.
