Flexible Grinding Cell Retrofit for Blade XXXX

Customer Pain Points

  • Core Requirements:​
    This project focuses on the precision machining of Blade XXXX. The customer needs a flexible upgrade built on top of the existing line to accommodate multi-variety, high-precision production.
  • Existing Bottlenecks:​
    Under the current mode, there is no digital control system; process handoffs are disjointed and data cannot be traced, making scaled, batch production difficult.
    An integrated solution is urgently needed to break through the development bottleneck.

Core configuration of the line body

  • Core Machining Unit: Integrates the customer's existing three five-axis grinding centers with one five-axis high-speed milling center to complete the full blade grinding and milling processes. CHINAF handles equipment coordination, commissioning, and process adaptation to secure machining accuracy.
  • Automated Execution Unit: Deploys a robot floor rail with a 7th axis, linked to the existing load/unload stations and material warehouse, enabling automatic part transfer and process handoff with no manual intervention, adaptable to multi-variety blade machining.
  • Digitalization & Safety Unit: Equipped with the HF-PCS control system and an RFID identification system for production scheduling, progress monitoring, and full-process traceability. A safety system is provided, along with an independent enclosure retrofit for the CMM to improve inspection accuracy, plus dedicated fixture design and integration services.

Core Value

  • Full-Process Automation Upgrade: Relying on the robot floor rail and automation system, the full loop of blade machining, inspection, transfer, and storage is closed, cutting manual intervention by 90% and thoroughly solving the pain points of low efficiency and blade damage from manual operation.
  • High Precision & High Adaptability: Through dedicated fixtures, high-precision pallets, and standardized processes, the machining accuracy of grinding and milling is secured, while accommodating multi-variety blade machining without major line rework, enabling flexible product changeover.
  • Digital Efficient Control: With the HF-PCS system and RFID identification, full-process digital scheduling and traceability are achieved, lowering management cost and helping the customer realize lean production and an efficient upgrade.
