Generate or repair components with additive manufacturing
TRUMPF enjoys an excellent reputation in the aviation and aerospace industry. In particular, the various areas of application of our lasers meet the stringent quality requirements of components such as turbine, compressor and blisk blades. The precision and flexibility of our laser systems are predestined for these tasks and are shaping the future of manufacturing in this industry. TRUMPF offers all relevant laser technologies under one roof, from laser metal deposition (LMD) to laser cutting, laser welding, and surface processing.
Component repairs and production
Customers from the aviation and aerospace industry can achieve cost savings of over 90% by repairing blisks (blade integrated disks) or compressor/turbine blades. Instead of replacing the damaged components with new purchased parts,& you can regenerate them precisely using laser metal deposition (LMD). This method can also be used to geometrically adjust, repair, or generate other high-quality components, such as different housings. The laser generates a weld pool on the component surface and melts on metal powder which is added at the same time, thereby creating the desired shape. Our lasers are also used for cutting, welding, marking, drilling, and for the structural processing of surfaces in aviation and aerospace applications.
Inductive material testing and heat treatment
Induction is used in the aerospace industry for non-destructive testing of components such as turbine blades. Inductive heating enables customers in the industry to easily reshape aluminium tubes. Inductive heat treatment is also used for joining technology – for example, screws. At TRUMPF, industry customers benefit from compact power supplies with high irradiance. The technology can also be easily integrated into existing production lines. Inductive power supplies from TRUMPF Hüttinger are synonymous with high efficiency, low cooling water requirements and maximum application flexibility.
