en.Wedoany.com Reported - Swiss machine tool manufacturer Starrag Group will showcase one of the most diverse portfolios of machine tools for the aerospace sector at the Farnborough International Airshow, held from July 20 to 24. Its S1250 HD five-axis machining center achieved a material removal rate of 1516 cm³/min in Ti6Al4V titanium alloy machining, setting what the company claims is a world record, up to three times that of similar roller bearing machines. This performance was verified in tests witnessed by Airbus and helped the company secure an order for five S1250 HD machines for Airbus's plant in Germany, Varel. The machine uses hydrostatic guideway technology, which is friction-free and wear-free, reducing heavy tool wear while shortening cycle times and lowering energy consumption.
Starrag is exhibiting at booth 4517 in the Swiss Pavilion, Hall 4. Its machine series are specifically designed for manufacturing demanding components such as blisks, engine casings, and structural parts made of titanium and aluminum alloys. The STC series sets the standard for efficient machining of titanium structural parts, and the S1250 HD extends this lineage to the heaviest-duty five-axis titanium machining. The Heckert X series five-axis machining centers offer high productivity for components like blisks and integrally bladed rotors, including models X50, X70, X80, and X90, with rapid traverse speeds of up to 80 m/min, tool magazines capable of holding up to 600 tools, and a 20% reduction in footprint compared to previous generations.
For large rotating components such as engine casings and rings, the Dörries VT 28 vertical turning center can machine heavy parts weighing up to 17 tons and up to 2.8 meters in diameter, while the six-axis Droop+Rein FOGS HD gantry machining center handles aerospace structural parts with X-axis travel up to 31 meters. At the Farnborough Airshow, Starrag will display samples of turbine blades, impellers, and structural parts, supplemented by large-screen videos and VR headsets to showcase broader technologies. www.starrag.com
