PRECISION GRINDING AND MACHINING FOR TURBINE BLADES AND VANES

Join us on 9 to 10 September at our Coventry Technology Centre for a focused technical event dedicated to precision grinding and advanced manufacturing for turbine blades, vanes and high-value engine components.

Created for manufacturers working across aerospace and power generation, 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.

EVENT DETAILS

A focused event for turbine component manufacturers

Turbine blade and vane production places significant demands on every stage of the manufacturing process. Components used in aero engines, industrial gas turbines and power generation systems often require complex geometry, challenging materials, tight tolerances and consistently high surface quality.

At Engineered for Power, we will focus on the machine technology, process knowledge and application support needed to manufacture these parts with confidence.

The event will be particularly relevant if you are involved in:

Aerospace engine component production
Industrial gas turbine manufacturing
Power generation turbine component production
Blade and vane manufacturing
Precision grinding applications
EDM drilling and cooling hole production
Complex machining of high-value components
Process development for demanding materials

The Makino G5 in focus

At the centre of the event will be the Makino G5, a machine designed to bring 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 can support components where performance, reliability and process control are essential.

During the event, visitors will be able to explore how the G5 supports applications where component geometry, material behaviour and production consistency all matter.

Supporting EDM and machining capability

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 and energy applications.

This will allow visitors to consider the wider process chain, including:

Precision grinding for profile accuracy and surface finish
EDM drilling for cooling holes and critical component features
Advanced machining for complex geometries
Process stability for repeatable production
Application-led support from NCMT and its technology partners

Designed for aerospace and power generation manufacturers

The event is open to manufacturers from across the UK and Europe, with a focus on companies producing high-value turbine and engine components for aerospace and power generation applications.

It is designed for engineering teams who need practical, technically robust solutions for demanding production environments.

The event will be suitable for:

OEMs
Tier-one and tier-two suppliers
Aerospace manufacturers
Power generation manufacturers
Gas turbine component manufacturers
Precision engineering subcontractors
Manufacturing engineers
Production managers
Process development teams
Technical buyers and procurement professionals

WHY ATTEND?

If you manufacture, develop or specify production processes for turbine blades, vanes or related high-value components, this event will give you the opportunity to review technology and speak directly with specialists who understand demanding manufacturing environments.

You will be able to see how NCMT works with customers to support more than machine selection, from application understanding and process development through to long-term service, support and production confidence.
