Timet – Turbine Blade Conveyor System

Brief

Design and manufacture a system to safely transport and orient turbine blades during the manufacturing process.

Industry

Aerospace

Challenge

Turbine blades needed to be transported from the mill to a separate location for stacking, with precise orientation required to ensure safe handling and efficient downstream processes.

IJF Solution

We designed and built a bespoke overhead conveyor system, incorporating a gripping mechanism, chain-driven conveyor and rotary positioning system to control blade orientation throughout the process.

Outcome

The system was successfully implemented and remains in operation, improving handling efficiency and process reliability.
