Seco tools and blade manufacturers to improve titanium processing efficiency

Callender Aerospace is a British engineering company that specializes in manufacturing and delivering engineering components, assembly and supply solutions for aerospace, power generation and other major industries. The company was founded in 1974, from the earliest 4 people to the present 230 people. The evolution of the Callender was the machining of the first turbo-fan blades from 1988 to the first variant of the JSF Joint Strike Fighter with a single piece of titanium forgings in 1998. Currently, the company has been a leader in the blade market for more than five years and can provide its blade customers with a complete supply chain solution. Callender's blade processing experience also includes the processing of long strip friction welding parts. The complex manufacturing process for producing blades from a single blank mainly relies on fast and accurate roughing techniques. Seco tools and Callender extensive cooperation, the development of plug milling technology and achieved good results. Steven Waddington, Senior Engineer, Callender Blade Processing, said: "The development of plug milling has driven Callender's roughing beats three to four times faster." Seco Tools and Callender are truly close partners and are innovating to reduce costs while improving quality. Recent attempts by Seco and Callender to process parts with a diameter of 1.3m and a blade length of 430mm. High mountain diameter range of 32 ~ 100mm 217 / 220.79 cutter for plug milling. Jabro Tool, a subsidiary of Sankai acquired last year, also supplied a solid carbide cutter for the project. Garry Dugdale, Calvinder's chief blade programmer programmer, said: "Now we have the wings machined at the ZT800 machining center so fine that we can completely eliminate the need for manual polishing." By working closely with machine builders, tool suppliers and operators, So that high-efficiency titanium processing possible.
