Robotic Automation for the Energy Sector

We specialize in the design of robotic systems for automating the surface finishing of gas turbine components. In the energy sector, power generation relies heavily on these turbines, whose components require highly precise and reliable manufacturing processes.

Over the years, AV&R has developed advanced technologies to meet the demanding requirements of manufacturers, automating critical operations while ensuring consistent quality.

Expertise applied to critical components

Our solutions are designed to process complex components such as turbine blades (HPT and LPT), compressor blades, vanes, as well as parts with thermal barrier coatings (TBC).

They enable the automation of key finishing operations, including profiling, polishing, and deburring, while meeting strict engineering tolerances and specifications.

Controlled and complementary automated processes

AV&R develops robotic systems capable of integrating multiple finishing processes within a single automated cell.

These systems rely on:

Adaptive technologies
Closed-loop feedback
In-process inspection integration

They automatically adjust parameters based on part variations and tool wear, ensuring a level of consistency that is difficult to achieve manually.

Improving manufacturing performance

Automating finishing processes allows energy manufacturers to:

Improve part quality and repeatability
Reduce variability associated with manual operations
Lower consumable and labor costs
Increase production throughput
Enhance operator safety

Expertise built in demanding environments

AV&R’s solutions are built on expertise developed in industries where precision is critical. This experience enables the design of robust systems that integrate efficiently into complex production environments while maintaining high quality standards.
