Old Meets New! Automating the Fan Disk Coating Process

With only millimetres of clearance between the part and the torch, how do you ensure the robot’s trajectory is right for every part, consistently?

Even on well-established coating applications, ensuring the robot’s Tool Centre Point (TCP) is perfect every single time is challenging. In this particular case, a mistake could be catastrophic.

Together with one of our long-term aerospace customers (OEM), FST has developed a process that ensures automatic calibration and alignment of the TCP for each and every part, leading to a significant reduction in the risk of poor quality while simultaneously reducing time in the booth.

With hundreds of parts successfully coated since its introduction, we would be keen to discuss how this technology could add value for you.
