Customer Requirements

  • Flexible machining system capable of handling turbine blades with varying root end diameters to replace the Special Purpose Machines (SPMs) which require spindle recalibrations for the same.
  • Lower cycle time from the then 24 hr.
  • Improve machining accuracy and eliminate rework.
  • Provide wet machining option.
  • Data track and trace.

Cybernetik Solution

  • Flexible adjustment to changes in blade diameter and layout with two, single-robot systems respectively handling blades with 2800-3000 mm and 3000-4800 mm BCD (blade circle diameter).
  • Cycle time reduction to 8-10 hrs.
  • SCADA for recipe selection and report generation.
  • Process optimization with sensory intelligence, data logging, and condition monitoring maximizes productivity, tool life, and equipment efficiency, and minimizes downtime.
  • Single robot handles all operations viz. drilling cylindrical holes axially and radially, sawing, and milling.
  • Operational safety via wet machining that prevents machining dust proliferation.
  • Streamlined setup with a slurry drying system eliminating the need for effluent treatment plant (ETP).
  • Compliance with required CE, UL standards.
