Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for re-creation of an optimized contour of the leading edges of gas-turbine blades, in which a gas-turbine blade (2) is passed by one or more grinding machine or machines (71, 71?) with the aid of a computer-controlled robot (10). The desired contour is achieved by following a movement procedure which is stored in a data memory (21). The stored movement procedure is designed to convert a blade from a previously determined statistical mean wear state to a likewise previously determined or calculated design contour. The contact pressure of the gas-turbine blade on the grinding disk or disks (71, 71?) is measured and is taken into account in the movement procedure of the robot (10) such that the desired design contour is achieved irrespective of the initial contour and wear of the grinding disks.

Abstract: A method for measuring the internal space of an elongate body. The elongate body has in a global xyz-coordinate system a longitudinal axis x. A laser profile scan is carried out, in which a laser scanner, which carries out scans in a plane, is moved through the internal space of the elongate body. The scan plane is tilted about the y-axis by a tilt angle ? or about the z-axis by a tilt angle ?. Preferably, the scan plane is tilted about the y-axis and the z-axis corresponding to the global coordinate system of the internal space. An apparatus for carrying out the method.

Abstract: A method of repairing a housing part of an aircraft engine. An existing cylindrical bore can be widened to a conical bore or a conical bore can be produced. A filler comprising a material of the same type as a material of the housing part can be prepared. The filler can have a conical peripheral surface configured to fit into the conical bore. The filler can be rotated so that material of the filler and material of the housing part heat up by rotational friction and are plastified. The filler and the housing part can be upset against each other in an axial direction. The filler can be worked so that it finishes flush with the housing part. If a cylindrical bore was initially present, a bore corresponding to the original bore can be produced through the filler.
