Aerospace components place very high demands on the grinding process. Parts such as engine rotors, blade tips, landing gear, shafts and casings often involve difficult materials, tight tolerances and high-value components where consistency is key.
Danobat has developed a range of grinding solutions specifically for these types of aerospace applications. One example is the mBTG-DANTIP, designed for blade tip grinding, deburring and measuring of fully assembled turbine engine and APU rotors. The process allows blade tips to be ground while the rotor is spinning at high speed, helping to achieve accurate results under conditions closer to how the component performs in service.
Blade tip clearance is an important factor in engine efficiency, so being able to grind and measure accurately in one process can offer real advantages for both OEM and MRO applications. Danobat technology can also support match machining processes, where rotors and casings are measured and matched to improve overall engine performance.
Another key aerospace application is landing gear grinding. Danobat’s DANUNI machine has been developed for large, complex landing gear components and can support external, internal, face grinding and superfinishing operations, including the grinding of hard coatings such as HVOF tungsten carbide and chrome.
Across these applications, the main benefit is process control. Danobat machines combine rigidity, measuring technology, software and application experience to help manufacturers achieve repeatable results on demanding aerospace parts.
Through AGS, UK aerospace manufacturers can access Danobat grinding technology with local technical support and application advice. Whether the requirement is for engine components, landing gear, shafts, rotors or other precision aerospace parts, AGS can help review the application and recommend the most suitable solution.
