Marine Propeller Finishing
THV's robotic platforms offer many options for improving marine propeller and hydro turbine manufacturing.
Automated propeller manufacturing
For Consistent Quality and Efficiency
Most of the work in marine propeller finishing that's currently performed manually can actually be automated. Automating these processes leads to lower manufacturing costs and shorter lead times while achieving better and consistent quality.
Automating manual processes also significantly enhances working conditions and production capacity.

Advanced force-controlled robotics
Enhance Surface Finishing and Milling with THV's System

THV's robot systems utilize grinding and polishing tools for surface finishing and milling tools for finishing edge contours and other intricate areas.
With force control, the tools will accurately follow the surface for the best results. The automation solution comprises one large payload force-controlled robot system and a high-precision rotary servo table. The finishing process is carried out using an electrical spindle motor mounted on a closed-loop force compliance unit, optimized for use with various grinding disks and stones.
