Over 160 people attended the sixth edition of Starrag’s Turbine Technology Days, which showcased developments to further improve the efficiency of machining turbine blades, blisks and engine casings, including: a flexible manufacturing system featuring 11 Starrag NB 151 machines for automated blisk manufacture; a tool-changing angle head – a joint development with Benz – where a single head with HSK-B63 interface can replace the use of multiple angle heads; and the adaptive roughing of turbine blades, to eliminate ‘air cuts’, by using in-machine probing in conjunction with Starrag’s RCS programming routines.
