Our Integrated Automation Solutions Include:
In the aerospace industry, the need for high-precision, safety-critical, and performance-optimized components is paramount. To meet these rigorous requirements, aerospace manufacturers are adopting automated solutions for surface finishing processes such as polishing, grinding, and deburring. These automated techniques play a vital role in enhancing the structural integrity, aerodynamic efficiency, and longevity of aerospace parts.
Polishing is a surface treatment process designed to produce a smooth, refined finish by mechanically or chemically treating a surface to reduce roughness and improve uniformity. In aerospace manufacturing, polishing is critical for minimizing drag, improving airflow over engine parts, and enhancing corrosion resistance. Components like turbine blades and fan cases often undergo polishing to meet strict aerodynamic and visual inspection standards.
Grinding is a precision machining technique that utilizes abrasive wheels to remove material from a workpiece. This process is essential in achieving tight tolerances and smooth surface finishes. In aerospace applications, grinding is widely used for complex parts such as compressor blisks, turbine disks, and landing gear shafts. Accurate grinding ensures each component meets exact dimensional specifications for high-stress performance environments.
Deburring is the process of eliminating small irregularities, or burrs, left on metal components following machining operations. These imperfections can interfere with component assembly and compromise safety in aerospace systems. Automated deburring is especially critical in aircraft manufacturing, where edge quality can affect sealing, fitment, and fatigue life of precision parts such as brackets, housings, and structural fasteners.

Used for fan blades, turbine vanes, and housing surfaces. Robotic polishing ensures low surface roughness (Ra<0.2μm) and uniform aerodynamic contours.
Automated CNC and robotic grinding for aerospace pins, shafts, and rotor disks enhances geometric accuracy and part interchangeability.
Removes critical-edge burrs in structural frames, fasteners, and casing components. Essential for reducing fatigue failure risk in flight-critical parts.
Manual surface finishing processes are labor-intensive, time-consuming, and prone to inconsistencies. Automation addresses these challenges by providing:
Automated finishing systems ensure consistent results across every aerospace component. With adaptive force control and sensor feedback, surface roughness, dimensional tolerance, and geometry are maintained within strict limits. This repeatability is vital for parts exposed to high stress and aerodynamic forces.
