Compact Airfoil Manufacturing System



GF Machining Solutions offers its Liechti go-Mill 350, the 5-axis machining center specially designed for machining blisks, impellers, turbine blades and other complex parts.

The Liechti go-Mill 350's compact 20.9' x 14.1' (6.4 m x 4.3 m) footprint accommodates blades up to 13.8" (350 mm) in length. With a 20,000-RPM spindle and either a tailstock or double-end rotary configuration, it is designed to deliver the power and precision required to produce an enhanced surface quality for challenging airfoil machining applications, such as finishing the critical zones of leading and trailing edges. The machine also features 30 or 60 tool positions and a 16-position part changer.

Liechti produces milling machines designed to reduce machining times more than 30% as a result of specific profile machining technology and specialized CAD/CAM software. "This high level of performance is based on engineering competence and know-how for full 5-axis and ultra-dynamic machining in titanium, Inconel, Nimonic, titanium aluminide and high-alloy steels," said a company spokesperson.
