Helicopter Rotor Blade

The video shows the activation of composite rotor blades. The laser treatment of the rotor blades is the first step following the hardening of the material in the autoclave, be-fore the application of the paint system.

Activating Plastic Surfaces with SLCR Lasers

In order to prepare machined construction parts for the steps to follow e.g. painting or gluing, an activation of the surface areas is necessary. The SLCR Laser presents a very clean, easily dosed and quick possibility to obtain the desired properties for the area to be treated.
Therefore manual processes such as hand grinding or other aggressive and dusty methods using fine blasting abrasive, can be replaced. An increase in quality and a reduction in costs is the desired result.
The laser treatment of the rotor blades is the first step following the hardening of the material in the autoclave, before the application of the paint system.

The Advantages of the Process:

  • clean dry and contact-free working process
  • automated and controlled working
  • consistent parameters, online quality control, resulting in  quality increase
  • environment and user friendly, marked decrease in waste disposal
  • reduction in costs
  • qualified for various composite materials
