In a challenging and high demanding market like turbine manufacturing, team work in the supply chain is a fundamental key for success. The match between the different challenges in the manufacturing process and the safety and efficiency of the modern engines is constantly pushing the development and the targets ahead.

We, as GF Machining Solutions, a reliable solution provider to our customers, have taken these challenges very seriously and after years of development with our users are able to provide a full and exclusive high performing and dedicated solution portfolio.

The “Dedicated” EDM line: the game changer is now on a superior stage

In 2014, GF Machining Solutions supplied the first wire EDM dedicated to the Fir Tree manufacturing to replace the broaching operations with a much more convenient, flexible and certified process. Today this line is completely reviewed on a far superior level with the new CUTS400 Dedicated. Thanks to the cooperation with the end users, this is the ultimate weapon for automated production of disks 24/7. This new release was created for this specific job and needs, and not as an adaptation of an existing model and  includes the next evolution of the monitoring software E-Tracking. This ensures the continuous monitoring of the cutting conditions and certifies that all the slots generated are compliant with the requirements. The best set up for automation, maintenance, cleaning, wire capacity and filtering together with the new exclusive design of the lower head, ensure uninterrupted productivity. Even with different disc diameters and cavity profiles the CUT S 400 Dedicated offers extremely flexible production also for small batches.

The production of blades was never so effective and versatile

With the introduction of the Liechti Turbomill 500 in 2023, the blade manufacturing is now on a different productivity level. With more than a 30 % increase in speed from the previous generation, the machine can work blades in any material as bar or chuck machining with two main heads and a very capable spindle from either bar or chuck. Linear drives for the linear axis and direct drives for the rotative ones, together with the legendary Liechti motion control and Cam software, are an unbeatable combination for this top-level production system. The machine can also be fully automated for parts handling.
