TEK4 is a world leader in drilling technology for cooling holes in turbine components used in jet engines and industrial gas turbines. TEK4 specialises in Fast Hole Drilling Electrical Discharge Machining for drilling straight and shaped cooling holes necessary for turbines to function. All TEK4's machines are designed and manufactured in-house and TEK4 also offers customers process development, turnkey solutions and process application innovation.This project will deliver the first-of-its-kind unmanned high-precision waterjet drill. This will be a cold drilling process, therefore, it does not melt or crack the turbine components during production, thus preventing defects and producing a higher quality and safer blade. Being a cold process will also facilitate more complex cooling hole configurations and increase the working life of the components by 25%. This system will slot seamlessly onto any workshop floor; it will be user-friendly and capable of producing fully processed blades, vanes and combustors 50% quicker than competitors, without requiring any human supervision.

Tek4是钻井技术的世界领导者，用于在喷气发动机和工业燃气轮机中使用的涡轮机组件冷却孔。 TEK4专门研究快速孔钻孔电加工，用于钻孔和形状的冷却孔，以使涡轮机起作用。所有TEK4的机器均经过设计和制造，TEK4还为客户的过程开发，交钥匙解决方案和流程应用程序创新提供了，此项目将提供首个无人驾驶的高精度水夹钻头。因此，这将是一个冷钻探过程，因此，它不会在生产过程中融化或破解涡轮组件，从而防止缺陷并产生更高的质量和更安全的刀片。作为一个冷过程也将有助于更复杂的冷却孔配置，并使组件的工作寿命提高25％。该系统将无缝地插入任何研讨会地板上。它将是用户友好的，并且能够生产完全加工的叶片，叶片和燃烧器，而无需任何人类监督，就会比竞争对手快50％。
