An automated production line using robots is now operational and machining aero-engine turbine blades at Rolls-Royce, Derby. It is the first fully automated manufacturing system with robot handling of engine parts to be introduced by Rolls-Royce. This automated line is more advanced than any other known to be in service in the world aerospace industry. It incorporates creep-feed grinding machines which have reduced typical grinding cycle times from six minutes to 45 seconds.
