TECT Power's TECTnology innovations come together to form TECT EcoThrust™, which is a portfolio of turbine engine component manufacturing processes that are proven to make your components and your engine more efficient. These advanced manufacturing processes produce parts that don't just meet tolerance requirements but actually meet design intent, helping engines perform better. Learn more about each of these unique capabilities and see how you can build peak performance into your engines with EcoThrust.
This patent-pending process utilizes automated and controlled techniques to deliver near-perfect leading-edge profiling that increases engine efficiency. This process is so exact that it creates consistency along the entire edge, not just at measurement sections, to go beyond meeting specifications and to actually meet design intent.
TECT PowerEdge® delivers:
- Less profiling variation, making it superior to a manually profiled edge
- Uniform engine set edge profiles that lead to less fan operating line variation
- Improved consistency that creates less reliance on inspection and eliminates the huge cost of engine test rejections
- Custom profiling to each customer's specific CAD model
TECT PowerFlow™ is a proprietary EDM manufacturing process for diffusers that yields a measurable improvement in dimensional consistency and surface finish, resulting in improved performance. TECT Power created this one-step milling process specifically to manufacture diffusers out of nickel. Our unique PowerFlow technology is designed to precisely mill the intricate 3-D passageways that actually make these diffusers perform more efficiently in your turbine engine.
TECT PowerForm™ is an integrated process to precisely and efficiently forge and machine metal leading edges that offer unmatched protection for composite and multi-piece fan blades. Unlike traditional metal leading edges, this process forms these edges from a single piece of titanium for a more precise and efficient component. TECT Power can even pair these parts with its exclusive PowerEdge™ profile for increased engine performance. The TECT PowerForm manufacturing process is an economical solution that adds efficiency up in the air and directly to your bottom line.
TECT PowerPlex™ is TECT Power's proprietary blisk manufacturing process that utilizes specialized machinery and programming techniques to create superior parts up to 52" in diameter with complex geometries and tight tolerances. We custom designed and built our own machinery to better produce the complex shapes that are essential to the performance and efficiency of these critical rotating components. The result of this milling process is superior titanium parts with extremely precise contours that make for a more efficient part. PowerPlex puts this one-of-a-kind technology into specialized machining cells that build unmatched quality and consistency in every piece.
TECT PowerTwist® is TECT Power's proprietary controlled forming process that fine-tunes the twist and improves the consistency of a fan blade, which results in significant specific fuel consumption improvement. This forging technology goes beyond simply meeting specifications and allows us to actually approach capturing the designer's intent. Turn to TECT Power for a truer shape to your fan blades and a more efficient way to improve the performance of your engine.
