The software of digitized, a powerful solution to restore turbine blades
The existing method to restore the blades requires work to rebuild the damaged end, welding, removing excess material and finally playing the peculiar shape of the blade.
Now, with the new Tracecut you can copy them a blade rebuilt, using one of the systems of copying of Renishaw, included the Cyclone machine, or with analog copying mounted in machine tool probes.
Once the blade data have been collected, software extrapolates the profile to regenerate the original form of the end, then generates a helical machining program to eliminate the excess of the material that has been soldier at the ends during the repair process. You can also repair the upper end of the blade and mechanising the 'squealer' at the top of it.
"Despite large investments in technology for the development of aircraft aerodynamics, the restoration of the ends has very little technology and is very manual." "The new solution of Renishaw has the power to cut restore times and is likely to be the most significant factor in the reduction of the time of production of ten days to five days of work," says Gerry BowyerHead of product of Renishaw products of digitized. "What is more, increase significantly the capacity of the maintenance workshops, since that simplifies the necessary technique to achieve high precision that is crucial to its security."
Tracecut is the leading software for applications of digitised. Controls all systems data capture routines of digitized of Renishaw, allows to manipulate the data with techniques like the mirror, scaling, rotation, translation and investment male / female, and automatically generates the lines of partition.
The software generates the programs of numeric control for moulds, dies, stamping, EDM electrodes, with diameters of tool and machining routes independent of the probe that has been copied. Data can also be exported to CAD systems.
The 23 version of the Tracecut also has an optional module of generation of surfaces in addition to the options as copying standard 2D and 3D and simple measurement of heights.
