Blisk Machining Solutions

The document summarizes Technicut and Delcam's partnership to improve the efficiency of blisk machining. Their new tooling concepts and toolpaths have significantly reduced the time it takes to machine titanium and nickel blisks. On a case study blisk, their methods reduced machining time from 72 hours to 35 hours and cost from £2,200 to £1,217. Their focus is on developing optimized tooling and machining strategies to continually enhance customers' competitiveness in blisk machining.

Blisk Machining Solutions

Bliskful Thinking

Technicut and Delcam have


partnered to revolutionise blisk
machining efficiency, delivering
remarkable savings in both time
and cost.
Manufactured from titanium and nickel, these highly complex
and critical components are becoming more common due to
the advantages of weight, efficiency and through-life servicing.
Technicut and Delcam have collaborated on new tooling concepts
and toolpath development to significantly reduce the time it takes
to machine a blisk from start to finish, with innovative tooling
solutions and application strategies for the roughing, semi-finish
and finish machining of all integrally bladed rotors.

DID YOU
KNOW ?
Through our Productivity Solutions
we are able to demonstrate significant
reductions in machining cycle times
and total production costs for either
current or planned components and
deliver both optimised ‘mini-turnkey’
and ‘green-button’ packages for their
complete manufacture.

DID YOU
KNOW ?
Our blisk machining strategies
utilise Delcam’s PowerMill blade,
blisk and impellor module.
Making complex operations simple is
at the core of PowerMILL’s philosophy.
This is particularly true for machining
blades, blisks and impellers.

DID YOU
KNOW ?
Technicut’s optimised titanium
roughing solutions use X-TREME
shanks in combination with Nikken
Kosakusho’s X-TREME Milling Chuck
for ultimate work piece security.
• For heavy duty cutting
• Highly accurate clamping technology
• ‘Zero’ tool pull out & tool micro-creeping elimination
• No damages to work piece or machine
