Automated weighing and balancing for engine blades

Vision-guided robotic system to automate the turbofan engine MRO process.

Features

Automatically weigh, inspect, and balance up to 70 blades in 25 minutes

• Frees up your team from repetitive MRO tasks to focus on higher-value work
• Operators just load the tray and press start. Zero room for recording or measurement errors

Scan serial/parts numbers and document measurements

• Laser scanning reads dot peen markings with 99.9% accuracy. High accuracy even for severely degraded parts
• Auto-matches part numbers to your database and documents measurements without errors

Calculate optimal blade arrangements for balancing

• Rearrange blades for optimal balancing
• Can use your own balancing algorithm if needed
• Generates reports with final arrangement, unbalance metrics, and full traceability
• Moment weighing for larger blades

The process in detail

Picks blade

We customize the gripper to adapt to your blade root and use vision for high-accuracy grasping

Scans serial and part numbers

The system reads dot peen markings with 99.9% accuracy using laser scanners and advanced AI-based computer vision technologies

Weighs parts

Precision weighing system captures data for each blade. For larger turbine blades, measures moment distribution to ensure complete balance analysis

Shuffles blades to optimize balance

Computes and executes the optimal blade re-ordering to minimize residual unbalance. We can integrate your existing balancing algorithms.
