Blisk Polishing
Multi-axis technology for better performance, strength, and resistance
Blisks - bladed disks or integrally bladed rotors - are highly complex turbine components. Their intricate geometry and challenging materials complicate the polishing process. Mirka’s L-series, however, can handle such components. It uses intelligent automation for a flawless finish and unbeatable results.
Delivering perfect finishes – no matter the part’s complexity
Industrial robots rise to the challenge
Blisks are difficult to manufacture. They are one-piece components, so their blades are not detachable. When the surface finishing is carried out manually, there is a considerable risk of inconsistent quality. This is where Mirka comes in. With its multi-axis technology, its L-series polishes a blisk’s airfoils like no other.
Fewer scrapped parts and less production waste
A significant boost in productivity
The standard design of the L-Series provides an impressive work envelope and technological features that boost productivity. The system is equipped with position sensors and force control and compliance units resulting in fewer scrapped parts and less production waste.
Manufacturers can benefit from improved efficiency and up to 8,760 extra productive hours annually.
L-Series: Not a typical polishing system
Flexible and extremely dependable
Additional features offer even more to manufacturers seeking increased flexibility. Our L-series can handle all blisk sizes. Processing workpieces with diameters up to 2m and weight up to 3 tons is not a problem for us. The tool storage system supports a variety of tools — a wide range of belt, rotary, and random orbital tools.
Another point of distinction is Mirka’s patented tool change systems for belts and discs. The advanced changing methods result in more efficient production cycles and extended unmanned production hours.

Radically improved health & safety conditions
Fewer sick leaves and ergonomic work environment
Manual material removal tasks are dull, dangerous, and dirty and require personal protective equipment to be used at all times. Automation changes the task from execution to supervision, thus protecting the workers from dust, noise, heat, vibrations, and unfavorable ergonomic positions. When employees feel valued, supported, and happy at work, absenteeism decreases and morale improves, leading to a more vibrant and thriving workplace culture.
