  • APPARATUS AND A METHOD OF SHAPING AN EDGE OF AN AEROFOIL
    Publication number: 20150000132
    Abstract: An apparatus for shaping an edge of an aerofoil comprising a brush and the brush comprises a plurality of bristles extending substantially parallel to each other. A motor rotates the brush about an axis. The axis is arranged substantially parallel to the bristles of the brush. A support structure holds the brush such that the axis intersects a first surface of the edge of the aerofoil or holds the brush such that the axis intersects a second surface of the edge of the aerofoil. There are means to move the brush such that the brush contacts the first surface of the edge or such that the brush contacts the second surface of the edge. There are means to produce relative movement of the brush and the aerofoil such that the first brush moves longitudinally along the edge of the aerofoil to shape the edge of the aerofoil.
