Flexible Automated Grinding Cell for Part XXXX

Customer Pain Points

  • Core Requirements:​
    Focused on the machining of XXXX working blades, the customer needs full-process automation of XXXX grinding, deburring, and profile inspection across multiple blade models—raising both production efficiency and product precision.
  • Existing Bottlenecks:​
    Multiple devices lack unified scheduling and coordinate poorly, leaving equipment underutilized. Machining, transfer, and inspection all rely on manual work—error-prone and inefficient, and the precision of superalloy blade machining is hard to guarantee. With no dedicated tooling or standardized loading/unloading-and-storage system, switching between models is cumbersome. And with no digital control, full-process traceability and intelligent scheduling are impossible. An integrated flexible solution is urgently needed to break these bottlenecks.

Core configuration of the line body

  • Core Machining & Inspection Unit:Integrates two CNC creep-feed grinding machines, one five-axis deburring machining center, and one vision measuring machine, handling respectively XXXX blade grinding, deburring, and profile inspection. A high-precision zero-point positioning system safeguards locating accuracy; CHINAF completes full equipment coordination, commissioning, and process adaptation to keep the flow smooth.
  • Automated Execution Unit:Equipped with one six-axis floor-rail robot, supported by a CHINAF-customized tooling library, loading/unloading stations, and customized fixtures, enabling automated loading/unloading and precise transfer of multiple blade models. A CHINAF cleaning machine performs automatic post-machining blade cleaning; linking all equipment into a closed loop with no manual intervention.
  • Intelligent Control & Safety Protection Unit:Deploys HF-PCS (Production Control System) as the cell's scheduling core—orchestrating all equipment for global scheduling, intelligent production planning, and real-time equipment-status monitoring, achieving information interconnection. A CHINAF safety protection system safeguards personnel, equipment, and blades; a CHINAF turnkey package enables one-stop deployment and lowers the customer's launch cost.

Core Value

  • Enhanced Equipment Coordination, Unlocked Capacity:HF-PCS unifies scheduling across multiple devices, solving the coordination problem of isolated operation and markedly raising overall equipment utilization, fully leveraging the capacity of each machining and inspection device, fitting multi-model blade production, and avoiding resource waste.
  • Full-Process Automation, Breaking Efficiency Bottlenecks:The floor-rail robot linked with automation peripherals delivers closed-loop automated loading/unloading, machining, cleaning, and inspection; manual intervention drops by over 90%, eliminating the low-efficiency, high-error pain of manual operation and sharply raising productivity.
  • High-Precision Control, Quality Assureds:Relying on CNC machining equipment and the zero-point positioning system, plus CHINAF-customized tooling, it cuts human error and ensures blade-tenon machining precision and consistency, meeting high-end precision-manufacturing requirements.
  • One-Stop Integrated Service, Lower Upgrade Cost:CHINAF provides full-process integration, customized tooling, and turnkey delivery, so the customer need not coordinate multiple suppliers. Dedicated tooling and the high-precision positioning system fit multiple blade models, require no major line rework, and greatly reduce retrofit cost and later O&M pressure—enabling efficient upgrade.
