SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MACHINING A SLOT IN AN INNER SURFACE OF A CASING FOR A GAS TURBINE ENGINE
A milling device for machining a slot into an inner surface of a casing for a gas turbine engine. The milling device includes a frame assembly including multiple structural guides configured to engage structural features on the inner surface of the casing to maintain an axial position of the milling device relative to a longitudinal axis of the casing. The milling device also includes a milling cutter coupled to the frame assembly. The milling device is configured to be displaced in a circumferential direction relative to the longitudinal axis to machine the slot, via the milling cutter, along the inner surface of the casing in the circumferential direction.
FORMING CLOSELY SPACED ANNULAR INTERNAL CORRUGATIONS IN CIRCULAR WAVEGUIDES
An apparatus for cutting annular corrugations in an interior surface of a cylindrical tube having a cutter head comprising a plurality of cutting teeth; a drive shaft coupled to the cutter head for spinning the cutter head; a mandrel coupled to the cutter head, wherein the mandrel defines a longitudinal axis, wherein an axis of rotation of the cutter head is parallel to, but in a position not coaxial with the axis of rotation of the cutter head; an outer eccentric coupled to mandrel, wherein the outer eccentric rotates the mandrel, wherein the axis of rotation orbits around the longitudinal axis.
Corner profiling guide
An apparatus for guiding a rotary tool along a work piece corner edge formed by the intersection of two orthogonal planar surfaces, has a corner guide formed by two orthogonal planar components and defining a longitudinal axis from back to front. An adjustable tool holder assembly is affixed to the corner guide, includes a tool holder, and is configured to independently adjust a tool holder longitudinal position along the corner guide, a radial position of the tool holder relative to the corner guide, and an angular orientation of the tool holder rotating in a transverse plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INSITU EXTENSION OF WIND TURBINE BLADES
A method and apparatus for the refurbishment and repowering of wind turbines through the extension of existing installed blades so that they can catch more wind energy and therefore enable an increase in the overall average power output of the wind turbine.
Portable manual vertical milling key duplicating machine
A portable manual vertical milling key duplicating machine comprising a body, a main axis component, a guide component, a clamping component, a feeding component, a power storage unit, a display unit and an electric control unit. This solution provides a pre-positioned precise guide mechanism and an adjustable handrail and is capable of improving the precision of key processing in multiple aspects and increasing stability during key processing. It has a compact structure with an upper/lower separate two-way sliding table configuration, thereby substantially reducing the machine size, and the body is divided into three areas, thereby ensuring good protection.
