6 interpolating CNC high-perfomance axis plus a floating individ ually programm able pressure control. Ensure a perpendicular positioning of the contact wheel to any airfoil surface. Machine Characteristic The interpolating axis design ensures that the contact wheel and abrasive belt are presented at 90° (perpendicular) to the blade surface and thus ensure a reproduceable and repeatable material removal Siemens Sinumeric One controller with integrated operator panel Solid continuous one-piece machine base Machine completely enclosed by durable cabinet Electrical cabinet built onto machine base extension Robust belt drive for common abrasive belts with integrated floating axis "Pick & Place" machine design for fast installations and minimum floor space requirements Separate gravity belt filter unit for coolant filtration Common machine tool fixturing can be used The blades are clamped by the root and do not require further support by means of a tailstock Wet belt grinding process with conventional organic or synthetic coolant additives Application Wet belt grinding, polishing and linishing of blades in chromium-nickel steel, titanium, nickel-based alloys, titanium alloys and non-ferrous metals. Forged, milled, super plastic formed and cast blades for the energy and aerospace industries. Customer Benefits Rapid return of investment Constant quality of blades Impeccable surface quality of blades Highly repeatable and reproducible process Easy to program through offline software Proven technology at OEM’s worldwide Significant savings in a 5-axis milling process through increased milling roughness before SPE processing
