only be produced on a fast, very precise,
and highly dynamic machining center,
such as the CHIRON FZ 16 S five axis.

The manufacturing operations for complex precision parts in the aerospace
sector require a particularly fast, very precise, and extremely dynamic
machining center.
are the main factors that make the
requirements in the aviation industry
so special. After all, vanes, blisks, and
impellers are typically produced from
high temperature resistant materials
such as titanium, corrosion resistant
Inconel nickel-based alloys, or stainless
steel. However, the complex 5-axis
geometries of the materials also need
to be produced with precise surface
form. For example, a blisk (short for
“blade integrated disk”) consists of up

“Blisks have already been machined
from Inconel within the scope of a
current project on the premises of one
of our major customers in the sector,”
reports Markus Löhe, Aerospace Sales
Engineer at CHIRON. “The new FZ 16
S five axis actually delivered excellent
results right from the first workpieces,”
summarizes Löhe.
