Integrated Robotics, Welding and Vision System
Liburdi's years of experience and practical expertise in the repair of turbine components provide the unique insight required for the successful design and integration of the tooling, the axis, the vision, the power supply and the controller. 'Turn-Key' systems include the development of the weld process, NDT examination, metallurgical certification, training and start-up. |
Features
Proven track record of welding critical turbine components - HPT blades, shrouded LPM™ blades, compressor blades and seals. Systems in service at major airlines, component repair facilities, and military overhaul facilities since 1990. Systems and processes developed for all high strength alloys, equiaxed, directional and single crystal castings.
Liburdi Vision System™ (LVS)
Proven 3-dimensional imaging and processing to derive torch path and weld parameters in less than 1 second. Vision is fully integrated with PC based Liburdi Robotic Controller™ (LRC). Real time monitoring during welding is available with video playback.
Liburdi Robotic Controller™(LRC)
Powerful PC based controller for high reliability and ease of maintenance. Incorporates graphic display features for critical weld parameters and easy to use English language programming. Custom hand held pendant designed specifically for welding.
Liburdi Pulsweld® Welding Power Source
Available with integral 50, 100 or 200 Amp precision power source configured for GTAW, PAW or Variable Polarity pulse welding with assured repeatability and accuracy for critical welding applications.
Automation Support
Liburdi Automation provides single source design and support responsibility for all robotic motion systems, vision systems, welding power supplies and advanced controllers. Complete engineering support is also available to develop weld parameters, inspect the welds and perform the required metallurgical tests to qualify the weld process.
