UEC explained the purpose of the plasmatron in the construction of gas turbine engines

The unit processes large titanium workpieces with a diameter of up to 1.5 m

The United Engine Corporation (UEC) uses a robotic plasmatron to apply various coatings to gas turbine engine parts. The unit helps to extend the service life of power units.

The plasmatron can process large titanium workpieces with a diameter of up to 1.5 m and apply coatings sequentially to 12 parts in one work cycle. The robot is capable of processing several hundred large-sized and up to 1000 small parts per month.

Refractory and hardening coatings increase the service life of gas turbine engines of all types, including those intended for gas pumping units.
