Mar 14 2018 · I''ve been out of touch with the cost aspect of the industry for awhile now however a number of years ago a stage 1 HPT blade was 8K
Jul 01 2018 · In the blade grinding application an added process is part serial number tracking achieved with the addition of a Cognex camera and laser etching Before grinding the turbine blade serial number is read by the Cognex camera This data is then passed to the laser etcher for post grinding ID marking A further capability of the cell is post
Find your turbine blade grinding machine easily amongst the 11 products from the leading brands on DirectIndustry the industry specialist for your professional purchases
State of the art solutions based on 35 years of experience collaborating with engine OEM and main overhaul shops Digital in process blade tip measuring system to ensure full control of the grinding process to optimize the size of each stage of the rotors
Feb 05 2007 · The properties that enable nickelalloy blades to perform effectively in the hot section of turbine engines also make the blades challenging to machine Larry Marchand an aerospace accounts manager for United Grinding who has 22 years of industry experience in the manufacture of turbine engines explains why this is the case
Plate 1 A major step forward in grinding technology streamlines the manufacture of jet engine compressor blades The basic crystalline structure of metals is sidestepped when turbine blades are created the metal typically a derivative of inconel or waspalloy is effectively grown at a precisely controlled rate and temperature
Blade radius measurements with 00001" resolution while rotating at speeds up to 1200 SFPM can be obtained Since the dBTM system is capable of determining the radii without concern for tip reflectivity the system does not need to be calibrated for each compressor or turbine blade type
In recent years we have both observed and got request from OEMs to CNC polish compressor blades and vanes to optimize flow efficiency and minimize differences due to tolerances in blade geometry which is essential to the balancing of the compressor rotor and the fit of the stator parts In order to keep up with the demand of this for the latest FClass HClass Gas Turbine Compressors
