The apparatus includes a track (18) mounted in the inlet of a compressor. A manipulator (20) is mounted for movement about the track and carries three modules (32, 40, 50), the last of which mounts a tool head for movement in a Cartesian coordinate system and about the track. A measuring head measures the location of the airfoil surface. An abrading tool (72) mounted on the third module (50) removes surface material from the airfoil. Subsequently, a shot-peening device, either a flapper with embedded shot or free shot is impacted against the abraded surface to strengthen the surface. Final inspection is performed by a light and camera head mounted on the third module. <IMAGE> |
