High-Performance Manufacturing Equipment - Improving the Manufacturing Efficiency of GE Gas Turbine Parts
Improving the manufacturing efficiency of GE-made gas turbine components! A groundbreaking high-performance manufacturing device.
Swiss company Synova, which has innovative laser cutting technology, and 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 components 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 state-of-the-art 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.

Company information
〇 Shinova offers innovative laser cutting devices suitable for a wide range of micro-machining and dicing. 〇 Our mission is to provide cost competitiveness and technical advantages to our customers who manufacture cutting-edge devices through our technology. 〇 With our patented technology, the laser is guided straight through a water jet as thin as a human hair. 〇 This water jet enables cutting, grooving, and scribing of materials. 〇 The water jet prevents the divergence of the laser, allowing for high-precision cutting that cannot be achieved with conventional lasers or diamond blades. 〇 Additionally, the low-pressure water flow cleans while cooling the cutting surface, enabling processing without causing thermal effects, contamination, or deformation of advanced materials. 〇 Furthermore, improvements in productivity and cost reduction can also be expected.
