Rösler is the world's leading producer of surface finishing equipment together with related abrasives and water treatment. Our aerospace division provides a wide range of blasting process such as shot peening, wet blasting, high pressure water jet blasting, paint stripping/coating removal, general surface roughening, as well as vibratory finishing applications for a variety of aircraft engine components and customer specific special applications.
Our research and development programmes have in recent years produced many surface finishing processes now widely used in the world's high tech industries, with aerospace in particular benefiting from them.
Rösler's worldwide centers of excellence are set up to perform surface finishing process trials on customer's components, offer ISO-accredited sub-contract finishing services, -as well as provide full after sales support that includes service, spares and a comprehensive inventory of abrasives.
Aero Engine and Air Frame finishing on both new and rebuild is a major part of Rösler's involvement in aerospace. Our unique ISF®/REM® and Keramo® process produce surface finishes on engine blades, rotors and stators, that yield significant engine performance improvements in terms of reduced specific fuel consumption, exhaust gas temperature margins and limited metal removal.
Chemically accelerated surface finishing (Isotropic Superfinish ISF®) achieves surface finishes as low as Ra = 0.02 µm (Ra = 0.8 µinch), Rz = 0.2 µm (Rz = 8 µinch).
Our innovative use of a robot (Roboblaster), for shot-peening aero engine blades has improved consistency of quality for a major aero engine manufacturer.
