Gas Turbines
Ansaldo Energia brings to the market the most advanced
consolidated technology gas turbines, combining the
robustness of its standard design with its recognised
ability in fulfilling customer needs with tailored solutions.
Manufacturing capabilities
The main centres of excellence at the factory are:
- The gas turbine hot blade production centre with six creepfeed grinding machines and a dedicated electric
discharge machining cell with eigth plunging and two cutting machines. Two measuring units are interfaced
with them for real time monitoring and correction. The center is used to machine surfaces and cooling/sealing
channels on precision cast turbine rotor blades and vanes.
- The steam and compressor blade production centre with a series of stand alone NC milling machine and a flexible
machining system with six 5-axis machining centres, three special 5-axis-5 spindle profile milling machines, a
measuring machine, six load/unload stations and 15 buffer stations. Their numeric control are driven dynamically
by the Cad/Cam system to support the large number of machines involved and the different type and size of blades to produce.
The manufacturing capacity of the production site currently stands at 18 gas turbines a year. A dedicated production
line for manufacturing rotor components has recently improved the capacity by duplicating the most critical machine tools. |
