The LASERTEC 160 PowerDrill is a five-axis laser drilling machine for large turbine components, using a travelling column design to keep rigidity constant across the work area. Its linear axes travel 1600 mm in X, 1000 mm in Y and 1000 mm in Z, and it is controlled by a Siemens 840D solutionline with LASERSOFT PowerDrill software. It drills cooling-air holes without electrodes or tool contact, so there is no tool wear.
