Automatic compensation of errors of multi-task machines in the production of aero engine cases

Abstract

The article presents a procedure which has been developed for rapid machine tools geometry selected errors compensation without machining process interruption, during long-term machining in the industrial shop floor conditions with the use of touch probe. The method presented in the article aim to increase quality of large machining components (DIA > 1000 [mm]) and a significant difference of the part height for aerospace industry, with machined on the same production line, to achieve zero non-conformances and minimize the effort of manufacturing engineers of process control. The article presents results of tests and implementation methodology results for large, sheet metal engine cases production on 5-axis multitasking machines. Presented method is directly connected with specific engine components manufacturer needs however it gives an opportunity for other industry areas implementation.
