High-Temperature Alloy Blade Grinding-Milling Flexible Machining Automatic Line

Customer Pain Points

  • Core Requirements: Focus on high-temperature alloy blade precision machining scenarios to meet the demands for high efficiency and high precision production.
  • Existing Pain Points: The existing production line is equipped with multiple imported and domestic grinding-milling machines capable of machining precision components such as XX turbines and XX blades; however, significant bottlenecks remain: Processes including machining, transfer, and inspection rely heavily on manual operations, resulting in low efficiency and susceptibility to errors, while preventing coordinated equipment operation. Furthermore, the absence of a unified digital control system hinders comprehensive production scheduling, and changing over between different blade specifications is cumbersome. Consequently, there is an urgent need for an integrated automatic production line to resolve these challenges and meet the demands for high efficiency and high precision.

Core configuration of the line body

  • Core Machining Unit: Integrates 3 imported and domestic 5-axis grinding-milling machines, paired with 1 five-axis milling machine, covering the entire process from blade grinding-milling to precision inspection to complete the machining of multiple blade specifications.
  • Automated Execution Unit: Equipped with a six-axis articulated robot, supplemented by CHINAF custom tooling and storage equipment, realizing precise part transfer and clamping, adaptable to the machining requirements of multiple blade specifications.
  • Intelligent Control Unit: Features the CHINAF PCS Production Management System, integrated with identification systems and MES interfaces, realizing production scheduling and progress traceability, and equipped with a safety protection system to ensure safe and stable production.
  • Supporting Unit: Includes constant temperature inspection environments and material storage equipment, completing turnkey delivery of 4 types of parts and realizing fully automated connection throughout the entire process.

Core Value

  • Full-process Automation: Through the coordination of six-axis robots and floor rails, automation is realized across the entire process of machining, inspection, and transfer, reducing manual intervention by over 90%. This thoroughly resolves the pain points of manual operations and significantly boosts production efficiency.
  • High-Precision Assurance:​ Relying on SCHUNK zero-point positioning systems and custom tooling, combined with CMM inspection, clamping errors are effectively avoided, ensuring part machining consistency and significantly increasing the product qualification rate.
  • Flexible Adaptation and Expansion:​ Compatible with the production of various part specifications and supporting production line expansion and upgrades, the system allows clients to expand product types according to demand. It features strong system compatibility, enabling the easy addition of new machining equipment and production categories in later stages.
  • Digital Efficient Control: ​Via the linkage between the CHINAF PCS system and MES interfaces, real-time control over production progress and material storage is achieved. Data traceability is convenient, operation and maintenance costs are reduced, and lean production is facilitated for clients.
