A Novel Process Chain for the Automated Repair of Leading Edges in Aircraft Engines
PRODUCTION ENGINEERING-RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT(2024)
摘要
Due to impacts and constant stress, the leading edges of aircraft engine blades often lose their shape, while the other parts of the blade are still functional. This results in unnecessary performance losses. Currently, there is no method for a fast and effective repair process as the initial shape of the blade cannot be restored. This paper presents an automated re-contouring process chain for leading edges without prior material application. Thus, it is a sustainable approach to extend the lifespan until an energy-consuming welding process can be performed. It consists of an in-machine scanning process to obtain information about the worn shape, a subsequent target model generation based on the worn shape, and an automated process planning. The process chain is evaluated using a universal, leading edge workpiece. The results show that the target requirements for shape and smoothness are fulfilled.
