3D scanning boosts accuracy and efficiency of bladed disk milling process

July 2020

Based in Ufa, Russia, ODK UMPO PAO is the country's largest provider of gas turbine engines. The company designs, manufactures and services high performance gas turbine engines for both fixed and rotary wing aircraft and gas and oil producing sectors.

ODK UMPO PAO wanted to increase the accuracy and efficiency of its bladed disk milling process. The complex high curvature surfaces of bladed disks used in gas turbine engines make them challenging components to manufacture.

NPA Tekhnopark Aviation Technology, a provider of educational and scientific research and engineering services, worked closely with ODK UMPO PAO to overcome this challenge by implementing Renishaw's OSP60 on-machine 3D scanning probe with SPRINT™ technology and Productivity+™ Scanning Suite.
