Investigation of Flexible Grinding and Polishing Processes of Integral Blisk on Robot Platform
The integral blisk is a key component in enabling the new generation of aircraft engines to achieve structural innovation and a technological leap. Its profile accuracy and surface quality have a significant impact on the fatigue and aerodynamic performance of the aircraft engine. Currently
the integral blisk grinding and polishing process in China remains in a backward stage
characterized by manual polishing
which results in poor blade surface quality
inconsistent performance
high labor intensity and low efficiency. This paper introduces the robot belt grinding and polishing equipment for integral blisks and its technical principle
and uses this equipment to carry out the process testing of the titanium alloy
integral blisk. Based on the structural characteristics of the integral blisk and the experience of manual polishing methods
this paper proposes an automated polishing process method for integral blisk
including polishing trajectory planning
optimization of grinding tools and processing parameters
and realizes its application in the processing of integral blisk through process control and parameter feedback adjustment. The results show that the surface roughness R
a
of the integral blisk after robot polishing is less than 0.4 μm
the grinding and polishing efficiency is significantly improved
and the consistency of the grinding and polishing profile is also enhanced remarkably. The material removal amount of the blades during polishing is 0.008–0.013 mm
and the blade profile tolerance meets the design requirements.
