Example Parts

The 330 mm compressor blade in a single machining cycle using main and subspindle that ensured the relationship of critical features and high levels of concentricity was maintained on the part.

The T6 aluminium compressor blade was machined out of a solid billet with the machine programmed off-line using Pathtrace's EdgeCAM Solid Machinist software. The cycle included extensive roughing and finish machining of bores, faces and spigot diameters plus a wide groove behind the vanes to give clearance for the profile milling of each blade.

This part has a extremely tight tolerance. Main bore has a series of undercuts and intersecting ports of which some are at odd angles. All faces are square to one another within a few Microns. Manufactured complete in one operation from billet on our 9 Axis machining centre.

Manifold Control Block with intersecting compound angled ports. This part is used in the fluid power control industry and has many variations. Common features in this family of parts mean it is quicker to program using EdgeCam, as these features can be copied quickly from one part to another. Manufactured complete in one operation from billet.
