We are a cost-effective supplier of turbine structures based on flexible manufacturing processes. We have extensive experience in fabricating turbine rear structures using a high degree of automation, such as automated welding.
We have developed new concepts for fabrication of turbine structures, using optimized combinations of castings, forgings and sheet metals of one or more different materials. Manufacturing process modelling of the welding and heat treatment process, for example, in conjunction with advanced process control and automation, make this a robust and competitive route to large structural components.
Major productivity gains are achieved with Volvo Aero's dedicated manufacturing cell for making complex exhaust cases. The cell's computerized measuring machine (CMM) checks numerous
dimensions of each work piece and applies statistical data analysis and trend data to measurements.
