The World’s First Hybrid Turbine Blade & Turbo Fan Remanufacturing Machine
The World’s First Hybrid Turbine Blade & Turbo Fan Remanufacturing Machine
A hybrid machine integrates multiple manufacturing processes, allowing seamless transitions between them, such as milling, 3D scanning, laser cladding, and more. This flexibility extends the life of high-value components, making it cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
Hybrid Manufacturing Process
The hybrid manufacturing process is characterized by its flexibility and automation. It combines milling, cladding, and probing, with changeovers taking less than 20 seconds. The process includes adaptive automation software for in-cycle reverse engineering, ensuring accuracy and reliability in component repair.
3D Laser Cladding
3D laser cladding is a welding-based additive manufacturing technique that deposits metal onto parts. It is suitable for various metals and allows for surface finishing in a single setup. This method is crucial for repairing and enhancing turbine blades and other components.
Applications and Benefits
Hybrid machines are particularly beneficial in aerospace for turbine blade repair, offering consistent quality and reduced cycle times. They allow for targeted cladding to enhance component properties, such as structural reinforcement and improved durability.
Quality and Material Bonding
Laser cladding provides high-integrity material deposition, often exceeding the base material's properties. The process ensures a strong bond between clad and parent materials, crucial for performance in harsh conditions.
Development and Collaboration
The hybrid machine was developed through collaboration between HAMUEL, Delcam, Hybrid Manufacturing Technologies, and the Manufacturing Technology Centre. This partnership has resulted in a revolutionary industrial repair solution.
Sustainability and Cost Efficiency
The hybrid system allows for the remanufacturing of high-value components, offering significant cost advantages by avoiding the need for new parts. It ensures precision and repeatability in repairs, optimizing component performance.
Conclusion
With nearly a century of experience in mechanical engineering, the development of hybrid machines represents a significant advancement in manufacturing technology, providing comprehensive solutions for various industries.

HSC-turning-milling centres of the HSTM-series Hybrid Manufacturing What is a Hybrid machine? A Hybrid machine is one where you can change between manufacturing processes as easily as you change between milling cutters. Hybrid machines mix technologies together to allow processes to be combined, as required. The ability to extend end-of-life of high value, complex components made from specialized materials, is both cost effective and environmentally friendly. Don’t just load your machine with milling cutters; load it full of adaptive processes: High Speed Milling + 3D Scanning + Laser Cladding...

Hybrid Manufacturing HSC-turning-milling centres of the HSTM-series How does it work? Flexibility – The key to Hybrid manufacturing is flexibility. Switching between milling, cladding & probing is fully automated and fast. Changeover takes less than 20 seconds and can be called up during any part programme using only a few M-codes. A typical fully adaptive part programme may include any of the following steps, all adaptively controlled by a single software solution. Generation of a milling path using an adaptive CAM-system Applications for Hybrid Machines Aerospace, gas or steam turbine blade...
