Turbine blade grinding and polishing machine. SPE machine tools are used throughout the world for belt  grinding, linishing, finishing, deburring and polishing of fan blades, leading edge sheaths, gas turbine blades, compressor blades, buckets and vanes (OGV and NGV). Also polishing of thermal barrier coating on steam turbine blades. The SPE is the right choice for turbine blades manufacturing. 6 interpolating axis guarantee a perfect positioning of the contact wheel to the airfoil surface of steam and gas turbine blades. An additional auto-adaptive pneumatic axis ensures constant grinding pressure. This allows the processing of complex blade and airfoil geometries and thus a reduction of milling processes and elimination of manual grinding operations.
A powerful CAD/CAM software allows for fast and efficient  generation of NC programs for any work piece geometry. The SPE is also used for finishing and polishing implants and other complex medical work pieces such as macintosh blades.
