Machining Demonstrations
Titanium wing pylon closed-process roughing
Showing closed-process roughing of a wing pylon from a titanium forging, which saves time and material, this machining demonstration features solid milling, indexable milling (inc. helical and disc), and holemaking. Collaborative partner technologies:
Additive and subtractive machining of a titanium blisk
Achieve excellent surface integrity, while also reducing the amount of material required. This titanium blisk was first 3D printed to near net. Next, it will be machined with custom Seco tooling, barrel milling and indexable milling strategies to produce a constant and accurate surface finish. Collaborative partner technologies:
Improved productivity for machining of small aluminium aerospace parts
Experience great productivity and less waste on billet sizes with this machining strategy that requires only one setup for this small aluminium aerospace part: a skin plate. Only one vice is needed to machine several component variants. Collaborative partner technologies:
Overcoming common challenges machining aerospace features in Inconel 718
Hooks, fins, slots... these can all be difficult features to machine, especially in superalloy materials that traditionally require low speed removal rates. This session will demonstrate significantly improved metal removal rates using B-axis turning and waveform strategies, TGH 1050, ceramic turning inserts, and solid ceramic endmills on a 5-axis simultaneous multi-task machine. Collaborative partner technologies:
Technical spotlight: Reduced cycle time/cost for machining large aluminium aircraft structural components
Significant cycle time reductions when machining a typical single aisle wing rib. Using vacuum plate workholding and a combination of Seco custom solid carbide and standard cutting tools, the high quality rib is fully machined in one operation from solid aircraft grade aluminium billet. Typical cycle time reductions of 50% can be achieved: From 1 hour down to 30 minutes! Collaborative partner technologies:
Any shape in a day: Generative design of custom tooling
In an evermore competitive manufacturing landscape, speed and efficiency are key, not just during the metal cutting process but in set up - particularly when a non-standard product is needed. Utilising generative design software, advanced additive manufacturing technology, optical scanning and 5-axis machining, we will demonstrate end-to-end process from receipt of component feature to a fully optimised custom tool - in just 24 hours. Collaborative partner technologies:
Technical spotlight: Power skiving
Eliminating the need for more dedicated machines, avoiding setup errors deriving from the transfer from one machine to the next, eliminating radial run-out errors almost completely when machining gears, power skiving allows for a component to be machined through all of its phases on a single multi-tasking machine or machining centre with a single setup. This approach significantly reduces the total machining time compared to processes that include broaching, profiling or hobbing operations, ensuring reliable and repeatable machining of the components.
Learn from Seco and Mazak experts about the skiving process and the latest related technology. Collaborative partners:
Ensuring outstanding quality for manufacturing a helicoper carbon fibre tail fin
Increase productivity while ensuring quality and safety when machining aerospace carbon fibre composites aerostructures on a portal 5-axis milling machine with integrated composite dust extraction system. The demonstration will show the benefits of PCD and CVD (diamond coating) and different machining strategies, ensuring we deliver on the high quality requirements for composite components.
Collaborative partner technologies:
Technical spotlights: Engine casing, nickel blisk, aluminium rib
Aero engine casing production requirements vary greatly depending on material, shape, size, and function, but fundamentally, manufacturers are all looking for cost reduction thanks to machining accuracy despite demanding environments. Register for this session.
Nickel alloy blisk benefits wanted: Heavy roughing and dynamic finish machining using the maximum stiffness and shortest axis moves to guarantee low cycle times and low ongoing consumable tool costs. Register for this session.
Aluminium rib manufacturers looking for significant cycle time reduction require extremely high cutting performance, high dynamics and high rigidity. Starrag and Seco discuss compatible technologies. Register for this session.
