Energy Turbine Components
Automated Finishing for Industrial Gas and Steam Turbine Components
From manual variability and rigid CNC processes to controlled, repeatable robotic finishing, AV&R helps energy turbine OEMs, suppliers and MRO providers automate the finishing of high-value components such as blades, vanes and hot-section parts.
From manual variability to controlled, repeatable finishing
Solutions for Turbine Manufacturers & MRO
We work with energy turbine OEMs, Tier 1 and Tier 2 component suppliers, as well as MRO providers and service organizations involved in turbine manufacturing and maintenance.
These companies support critical industries such as power generation, oil & gas, LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas), or thermal and nuclear energy.
Our solutions are designed for large industrial players producing high-value turbine components, particularly those looking to overcome the limits of manual or partially automated finishing processes.
Parts Processed by Our Systems
Turbine Components
We focus on critical gas and stream turbine components across both hot and cold sections, including blades, vanes, nozzles, compressor parts, and MRO repair components.
These parts are typically characterized by complex geometries, high-performance materials such as superalloys and high-strength steels, and stric surface integrity requirements, making them ideal candidates for advanced, controlled finishing processes.

YOUR CHALLENGES
How We Can Help
In turbine component manufacturing, more specifically finishing operations, manual processes are still widely used, especially in high-variability environments like MRO. While CNC offers precision, it lacks the flexibility needed for complex parts, and no standard automation approach has emerged.
At the same time, labor shortages and increasing reliance on highly skilled operators make it difficult to sustain consistent production.
As a result, manufacturers struggle with inconsistent surface quality, rework and scrap, dependency on scarce skilled labor, and unstable production flows, while facing growing pressure to reduce costs and extend component lifecycle.
Our robotic finishing machines address these exact challenges by delivering controlled, repeatable, and flexible automation adapted to complex turbine components.
