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是喷气发动机和工业燃气轮机涡轮部件冷却孔钻井技术的全球领导者。TEK4专门从事快速钻孔电火花加工，用于钻孔涡轮功能所需的直线和形状冷却孔。TEK4的所有机器都是内部设计和制造的，TEK4还为客户提供工艺开发，交钥匙解决方案和工艺应用创新。该项目将交付首个无人驾驶高精度水射流钻机。这将是一个冷钻过程，因此在生产过程中不会融化或破裂涡轮部件，从而防止缺陷，生产出更高质量和更安全的叶片。作为一个冷过程也将有利于更复杂的冷却孔配置，并增加25%的组件的工作寿命。该系统可以无缝地安装在任何车间地板上；它将是用户友好的，能够生产完全加工的叶片，叶片和燃烧器比竞争对手快50%，而不需要任何人工监督。
