Thin-Wall Aluminium Rotor Machining

Machining review focus

Thin-wall rotor review

• Thin-wall aluminium rotor machining begins with wall geometry, datums, material condition and the approved drawing.
• Aluminum rotor machining requirements use the same project review path for North American drawing terminology.
• Workholding, sequence and distortion-control requirements are evaluated for the specific rotor geometry.

Buyer inputs

Drawing package inputs

• Controlled model and drawing revision
• Aluminium or aluminum alloy and condition
• Wall and blade geometry priorities
• Datum and runout requirements
• Inspection and balancing requirements

Verification

Project-defined verification

• Machining strategy is proposed only after geometry review.
• No fixed wall thickness, tolerance or runout capability is advertised without the drawing.
• Inspection and balancing acceptance criteria remain project-defined.

Before production

Agree the acceptance requirements

Performance, vacuum service and acceptance criteria are confirmed only against the approved drawing and quotation.

Define the critical dimensions, inspection records and functional validation responsibilities before accepting the quotation.
