Superalloy Blade Precision Machining Automated Production Line

Customer Pain Points

  • Core Requirements:
    Targeting the precision machining of superalloy blades, the line must deliver high-efficiency, high-precision production.
  • Existing Bottlenecks:
    The current line already runs several imported and domestic grinding-milling machines and can machine precision parts such as the XXXX turbine and XXXX blades. Clear bottlenecks remain, however: machining, transfer, and inspection still rely on manual operation—low in efficiency and prone to error, with no coordinated equipment operation. A unified digital control system is absent, making production scheduling hard to orchestrate and switching between blade specifications cumbersome. The line cannot meet high-efficiency, high-precision demands, and an integrated automated production line is urgently needed to break these bottlenecks.

Core configuration of the line body

  • Core Machining Unit: Integrates three imported and domestic five-axis grinding-milling machines plus one five-axis milling machine, covering the full blade grinding-milling and precision-inspection flow to complete multi-spec blade machining.
  • Automated Execution Unit: Equipped with a six-axis robot, supported by CHINAF-customized tooling and storage equipment, enabling precise part transfer and clamping for multi-spec blade production.
  • Intelligent Control Unit: Runs on HF-PCS, integrated with an identification system and MES interface for production scheduling and progress traceability, plus a safety protection system to keep production safe and stable.
  • Supporting Unit: Includes a constant-temperature inspection environment and material storage equipment, delivering 4 part types on a turnkey basis and achieving fully automated, seamless hand-off across the entire process.

Core Value

  • Full-process Automation: With the 6-axis robot working along a floor rail, machining, inspection, and transfer are fully automated; manual intervention drops by over 90%, eliminating the manual-operation pain point and sharply raising production efficiency.
  • High-Precision Assurance:​ Built on the SCHUNK zero-point positioning system and customized tooling, combined with CMM inspection, it avoids clamping errors, ensures machining consistency, and markedly improves product yield.
  • Flexible Adaptation & Expansion:​ Fits multiple part specifications and supports line expansion and upgrades; customers can add product types as needed, the system is highly compatible, and new machining equipment and product categories can be added later with ease.
  • Digital, Efficient Control: ​Through HF-PCS linked with the MES interface, it delivers real-time control of production progress and material storage with easy data traceability, lowering O&M cost and helping customers advance toward lean production.
