Machine requirements
The information that follows is a guideline. If any additional information is necessary contact IAE.
For the rotor path ring machining, a machine is necessary that can meet the conditions that follow:
Permits a 34.0in. (863.60 mm) diameter by 18.0in. (457.20 mm) depth workpiece to be installed.
The workpiece must be turned in a counterclockwise direction, when viewed from the tailstock.
Permits a K grade carbide I.T.T. turning tool with a 0.031in. (0.8 mm) radius tip to be installed.
The conditions that follow must be used when you machine the rotor path linings.
A component surface speed of 70 m/min. This is equivalent to a speed of 42 r.p.m.
