iRobotCAM robot simulation software releases a dedicated grinding algorithm for impeller blades and discs, achieving a mirror polishing effect

Abstract: To address the robot-assisted automated polishing of complex components such as impeller blades and disks, iRobotCAM has developed a dedicated polishing algorithm, achieving efficient mirror-like polishing results.

Aircraft engines, impellers, centrifugal wheels, and other complex-shaped, difficult-to-machine components with high processing performance requirements are widely used in aerospace, shipbuilding, and construction machinery. Grinding processes are indispensable for these intricate rotating parts, demanding not only high precision but also varying technical requirements for materials and specific application scenarios. Additionally, the high dust levels in grinding environments pose challenges to workers’ operational capabilities.

With automation continuously advancing today, how does iRobotCAM achieve high-precision grinding of turbine blades and disks for this application requirement?

  1. By utilizing the architecture advantages of iRobotCAM based on 3D CAD, it is possible to quickly build 3D application scenarios such as robots, tools, and positioners.
  2. Utilizing iRobotCAM’s rich five axis trajectory generation strategy and a dedicated grinding algorithm for optimizing impeller blades, the sand belt grinding and polishing process is adopted to eliminate milling tool marks, reduce residual stress, and improve surface quality and shape accuracy due to its advantages of tool work elastic contact, fast heat dissipation, and high processing efficiency.
  3. By utilizing the open process architecture and reliable physics engine advantages of iRobotCAM, iRobotCAM can develop and integrate suitable polishing algorithms based on different material properties to meet the application needs of complex scenarios in different industries.
