Marine Propeller Finishing
Mirka's robotized platforms offer many options for improving marine propeller and hydro turbine manufacturing.
Automated propeller manufacturing
For Consistent Quality and Efficiency
The systems are suitable for everything from cast mold machining to surface finishing and polishing. Most of the manual work can be automated, which results in reduced manufacturing costs and lead times while achieving better and constant quality. When manual processes are automated, working conditions are dramatically improved while also securing production capacity.
Different configurations are available for controllable pitch propellers (CPP), fixed pitch propellers (FPP), impellers, etc..
Advanced force-controlled robotics
Enhance Surface Finishing and Milling with Mirka's System
Mirka's robot system can utilize the grinding and polishing tools for the surface finishing and the milling tool for finishing edge contours and areas used for connecting a part from a potential previous process step to the milling machine.
With force control, the tools will accurately follow the surface for the best results. The system consists of one large payload force-controlled robot system and a high-precision rotary servo table. The finishing process is completed by utilizing the Electrical Spindle Motor mounted on the active force compliance unit and a variety of different grinding disks and stones.
