GE, Synova, and Makino jointly developed a high-performance manufacturing device that incorporates laser microjet technology, improving the manufacturing efficiency of GE's gas turbine components.

Improving the Manufacturing Efficiency of GE Gas Turbine Parts
GE, along with the Swiss company Synova, which possesses innovative laser cutting technology, and the Japanese company Makino Milling Machine Co., Ltd., known for its high-performance and high-quality precision technology, will jointly announce a groundbreaking manufacturing device for gas turbine parts using laser microjet technology.
This new manufacturing device not only dramatically reduces the processing time required to drill cooling holes in rotating machinery components but also contributes to the development of excellent cooling technologies aimed at improving gas turbine performance and extending the lifespan of components. This manufacturing technology is planned to be utilized in the production of GE's latest gas turbines and, in the future, in the manufacturing of GE aircraft engines.
Components installed in the hot gas path of rotating machinery are exposed to temperatures exceeding 1,300°C, requiring special materials with heat-resistant coatings. The new manufacturing device using laser microjet technology can create precise holes in these special materials, enabling accurate cooling effects for each component.
