Aerospace Turbine Housing and Stator Vane Assembly

This assembly is a thin-walled cylindrical housing integrated with multi-port radial features and internal aerodynamic guide vanes. Conventional 3-axis machine tools need multiple fixtures, which stack positioning error. KGL uses one multi-axis setup to anchor every feature to a single coordinate origin.

The Machining Challenge

Deep internal vane cavities, thin outer walls, radial ports at multiple angles, and sealing grooves all interact. Each re-fixture introduces runout. Handheld tools cannot validate complex internal geometry or multi-angle boss orientations.

How KGL Machines Complex Housings

• Simultaneous 5-axis machining. Continuous five-axis motion machines internal aerodynamic vanes while maintaining tool contact and surface continuity across thin sections.
• 3+2 axis positioning. Tool orientations lock at precise angles relative to the outer cylinder, allowing drilling, threading, and counterboring of radial bosses and port flanges in one cycle.
• One setup, full completion. Outer cylinder walls, seal grooves, internal vane profiles, and radial ports are machined from one origin, keeping coaxiality, circularity, and perpendicularity tight.
• Inspection. CMM and 3D optical scanning map full GD&T compliance against customer CAD models, with complete reports for every production lot.
