Join us on 8th September at our Coventry Technology Centre for a focused technical event dedicated to precision grinding and advanced manufacturing for aerospace turbine blades, vanes and high-value engine components.
Created for manufacturers working across aerospace, the event will centre on the Makino G5 grinding machine and its relevance to demanding applications where profile accuracy, surface finish, repeatability and process stability are critical.
You will also have the opportunity to explore supporting EDM and machining technologies from Makino and Okuma, showing how grinding, EDM drilling and advanced machining can work together within a complete manufacturing process.
Blade and vane production places significant demands on every stage of the manufacturing process. Component geometry, material behaviour, cooling hole accuracy, surface finish and dimensional consistency all influence the success of the final part.
At this event, we will focus on the technologies and process considerations that support high-accuracy aerospace production, including:
At the centre of the event will be the new Makino G5 grinder with Pro6 control, a machine designed to bring advanced grinding and machining capability together for complex component production.
For manufacturers producing turbine blades and vanes, grinding plays a critical role in achieving the required profile accuracy, surface finish and repeatable quality. The G5 provides a strong platform for discussing how advanced grinding technology, supported by the latest Pro6 control, can help manufacturers manage components where performance, reliability and process control are essential.
During the event, you will be able to explore how the G5 supports applications where component geometry, material behaviour and production consistency all matter, particularly across aerospace and power generation turbine component production.
While grinding is the central focus of the event, turbine component production is rarely defined by one process alone.
Alongside the Makino G5, the event will also highlight supporting technologies from Makino and Okuma, including EDM drilling and advanced machining solutions for demanding aerospace applications.
This will allow you to consider the wider process chain, including:
This event is designed for aerospace OEMs, tier-one and tier-two suppliers, manufacturing engineers, production leaders, process development teams and technical buyers involved in aero engine component production.
It will be particularly relevant if you are looking to improve process capability, assess new machine technology, review grinding or EDM requirements, or explore more efficient ways to manufacture blades, vanes and related aerospace components
