EQUIPMENT COMPRISING A ROTATABLE CRADLE AND INTENDED FOR ENCASING THE AIRFOIL OF A TURBINE BLADE IN ORDER TO MACHINE THE ROOT

摘要

An equipment for coating an airfoil of a turbine blade of a turbine engine in a coating block, including a base on which a molding block is positioned for flow of the coating metal, the molding block including a cavity defining a reference plane on the block for positioning the block in space, wherein the base also includes a cradle supporting the blade via six bearing points defining an orientation plane representative of an angular position of the airfoil relative to a root of the blade. The cradle is rotatably movable relative to the base about an axis oriented so as to be substantially parallel to a direction of a leading edge of the blade, to enable a modification in an angle formed between the reference and orientation planes.
