Efficient impeller machining on five axis Starrag STC 800 machiningcenter

The efficiency of radial compressor wheels depends to a high degree on the precision of the production process. This is something to which we are well suited as a worldwide recognised specialist in the field of 5D milling technology, as high-precision machining of impellers has been one of the specialist areas of Starrag for many years. With the STC 800 we have set another milestone for turning and milling applications.

When you realize what a massive compressor wheel this is.

good finish

[@XenoEXTornado]

It's beautiful art 😍. 👌🏾

[@XaymacaJah]

nice work.

[@taystew]

impressive

[@StefanoLinguanotto]

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

[@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] :)

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

[@quillmaurer6563]

Thanks

[@monilpanchal4478]

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

[@kdoran709]

Crazy

[@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

[@justiceanddevelopments873]

Really Awesome. But Can you tell me sir. How I can learn or from I can learn , how to make Centrifugal Compressor ?

[@bartdereu9267]

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

[@siyumtsega6498]

what is the material???

[@nukeboy27]

Aluminum alloys
