Efficient impeller machining on five axis Starrag STC 800 machiningcenter

[@WhiteDwarfVR4]

2:12.. 🤯 When you realize what a massive compressor wheel this is.

[@quillmaurer6563]

For reference, how large is this impeller? In the machine I'd assumed it might have been 15-20 cm across, say for a 2000hp engine or so. But at the end it looks like it's hanging from a hoist and a couple meters across. What is it used for? I would assume some sort of turbocharger - ship engine?

[@StarragTV]

The impeller has a diameter of approx. 750mm, he is part of ship turbo charger

Thanks

How much time it will take to machine full impeller??

[@peterjackson6556]

Well done. This is very interesting. Who is the tooling supplier for the taper ballnose cutting at +- 3min?

[@bernhardbringmann2262]

Peter Jackson The ballnose cutter is from Starrag. Tools for flank finishing of Impellers is their speciality. Contact is [e-mail] :)

[@StefanoLinguanotto]

What type of coolant are they using? Never seen a green one!

[@michaelmckinley4588]

HOLY GHOST THAT IS BEAUTIFUL. the machine and the product.... if it does not violate the NDA, what is that impeller for?

[@StarragTV]

That's for a ship engine

Crazy

[@bartdereu9267]

I wonder how they build compressors like this for the 1940's first jet gasturbine engines.

[@taystew]

impressive

[@justiceanddevelopments873]
