This unique system is designed to remove TBC coatings from aircraft engine nozzle segments from the high pressure turbine section in high volume production. The machine utilizes a tiping spindle door for easy operator load and unload. The Progressive Surface PRIMS Pro® operator interface simplifies the operation of the ABB based nozzle manipulator. The PRIMS Pro Surface Select feature also aids the operator when the first cycle does not remove the coating completely; the operator is able to select specific surface subroutines by simply checking or unchecking the surface description in the PRIMS Pro screen. The next cycle will only repeat the sections of the part program necessary for complete coating removal thus reducing cycle time and minimizing erosion of the substrate.
