Grinding Cell for Turbine Working Blades
Keywords: Grinding, working blade, automatic loading/unloading, non-standard design, aviation
Customer Pain Points
- Core Requirements:
The customer's core requirement focuses on the multi-position precision grinding of 4 types of Blade XXXX blades, requiring precise blade machining, while demanding a full-process turnkey service covering fixture design and manufacturing, automatic loading/unloading, grinding wheel and roller configuration, and grinding program and machining-parameter commissioning as an overall solution; in addition, the customer needs the selection and configuration of hardware facilities for each link within the cell to satisfy 8-hour stable machining and unattended production demands.
- Existing Bottlenecks:
The original machining mode cannot achieve integrated batch machining of multi-variety blades, lacks complete automation support and a localized control system, and project implementation requires multi-party coordination with cumbersome processes and low efficiency; an entirely domestic, automated flexible grinding cell is urgently needed to realize efficient, stable, and controllable turbine-blade grinding production.
Core configuration of the line body
- Core Machining: Configures 3 domestic five-axis grinding centers, specially adapted for multi-position precision grinding of 4 types of turbine working blades—tenon, platform, and blade-crown serration; relying on the advantages of domestic equipment, it balances machining accuracy with batch-production needs and suits unattended production scenarios.
- Automated Logistics & Fixturing: Two six-joint robots, high-precision zero-point positioning system, custom material warehouse, and loading/unloading stations realize full-process automation of automatic loading/unloading, transfer, and clamping for 4 types of turbine blades, reducing manual intervention, ensuring production stability under unattended conditions, and improving production continuity.
- Precision Inspection & Marking: 2 CMMs with constant-temperature rooms, an identification system, and marking equipment, paired with 2 cleaning stations, realize precise inspection, cleaning, and marking management of blades after grinding, ensuring machining accuracy meets standards and product cleanliness meets requirements, building a full-process quality traceability system, and suiting the quality-control needs of multi-variety blade machining.
- Integration Assurance & Turnkey Service: Safety protection system, HF-PCS production management software, and 378 sets of custom fixtures, paired with a turnkey package for 4 types of turbine blades, achieve seamless integration of equipment, software, and fixtures; fully responsible for fixture design and manufacturing, program commissioning, and equipment commissioning throughout the process, completing project implementation via one-stop turnkey service to meet the customer's full-process worry-free needs.
Core Value
- Localization Benchmark: As the first fully domestic-equipment-line automated flexible grinding cell in China, the core equipment and control system are all localized; among them, the HF-PCS control software is independently developed by our company—secure, controllable, and easy to upgrade—breaking the foreign technology monopoly and setting a domestic-industry benchmark for turbine-blade grinding.
- Efficient & Stable: The fully automated configuration and scientific selection perfectly satisfy 8-hour stable machining and unattended production requirements, realize integrated batch machining of 4 types of turbine blades, greatly reduce manual intervention and in-process waste, and improve production efficiency and stability.
- Intelligent Control: The independently developed PCS control software is equipped with multiple advanced modules such as adaptive pose adjustment, full-closed-loop machining, process management, advanced planning, and intelligent scheduling, realizing intelligent control of the entire machining process, optimizing production processes, and guaranteeing machining accuracy and product consistency.
- Worry-Free Implementation: The full-process turnkey service covers all links including fixture design and manufacturing, equipment configuration, program commissioning, and part machining; 378 sets of custom fixtures precisely adapt to 4 types of blade machining, requiring no multi-party coordination from the customer, greatly lowering project implementation and operation management costs, and rapidly realizing capacity upgrade.
