Fixture Modification of a 5-Axis CNC Machine (Makino)

Abstract

the production of turbo machinery components like turbine blades, impellers, rotors, propellers etc, minimum workpiece deformation due to clamping and cutting forces is essential to maintain the machining accuracy. Fixtures are work holding devices designed to hold, locate and support work pieces during manufacturing operations. Fixtures provide a means to reference and align the cutting tool to the workpiece but they do not guide the tool. The L&T-MHPS Turbine Generators Pvt Ltd company is design and manufacture turbine blade parts. Many of the parts required sophisticated fixturing in order to be machine. L&T-MHPS Company Pvt Ltd, Hazira was used fixture (MAKINO) brand and L&T Company is recently used to 4-axis CNC fixture machine. This fixture is movement of spindle and chuck rotate on x, y and z direction the motion of cutting tool A and B is spindle motion. We are design and modification of 5-axis fixture system which would eliminate the need for different fixture for each machine.
