Process for producing holes

Abstract

A method of producing holes in a component, in particular of turbomachines, wherein each hole extends from a first, outer surface to a second, inner surface of the component and wherein the method has, for example, the following steps: producing a 3D model of the actual geometry of the component, at least for the region of the holes; adopting each hole on the basis of the actual geometry of the component; generating a production program for each individual hole. In this way, the process quality and with it the quality of the holes increases, because the offset of holes caused by component tolerances is avoided and the drilling funnels are formed according to specification. Furthermore, drilling defects on account of the offset of holes and/or cores can be avoided. Overlapping holes caused by component tolerances are likewise avoided.

Benefits of technology

[0010]Through the specified realization the quality of processing, and with it the quality of the holes, increases because the misalignment caused by the component tolerances is avoided and the drilled funnels are formed according to specification. Furthermore, drilling through the walls of the inner geometry due to the misalignment of the holes and/or the cores is avoided. Merging holes caus

Problems solved by technology

Tolerances of the outer geometry, e.g. in blade profiles, and of the inner geometry, e.g. in cavities or cores, as well as the inconsistency between them make process-stable production difficult.

Furthermore, process-stable production is made difficult because the tolerances of the outer surface cause shifting, twisting,
