20130160292 | MACHINE TOOLS AND METHODS FOR MACHINING TURBINE ROTOR ASSEMBLIES - Machine tools and methods for machining turbine rotor assemblies are disclosed. Some machine tools include a drill arm that pushes off of a turbine stage that is adjacent to a turbine stage to be machined. Some machine tools include a clamping arm that secures the machine tool to a turbine stage to be machined and an adjacent turbine stage. Some methods include pushing-off of a turbine stage that is adjacent to a turbine stage to be machined. Some methods include securing a machine tool to a turbine stage that is adjacent to a turbine stage to be machined. Some methods include monitoring at least one of a current delivered to a first motor and a voltage applied to the first motor and controlling a second motor in response to the monitoring. Some methods include sequentially machining a turbine stage with cutting tools having increasing lengths and/or diameters. | 06-27-2013 |
20130039713 | MODULAR MACHINE TOOLS - Modular machine tools, modular machine-tool beds, and systems for assembling the same are disclosed. Some machine tools and beds may be configured selectively between a cantilever configuration and a gantry configuration. Some modular beds may be assembled selectively to have a desired longitudinal length. The modular nature of the machine tools and modular beds allows users to configure a machine tool in multiple configurations depending on a particular work piece needing to be worked. | 02-14-2013 |
20120175143 | REMOTELY ADJUSTABLE FEED SYSTEM - Various embodiments herein provide a remotely adjustable feed system for remotely controlling the movement of a tool head on a machining tool along an axis of motion by means of converting reciprocal linear motion, i.e., back and forth linear motion, into rotary motion. The rate of movement of the tool head along the axis of motion may be controlled by varying the distance of linear motion in each cycle of linear reciprocal motion and/or by varying the rate of linear reciprocal motion cycles per unit time. Alternatively, or in addition, the rate of movement of the tool head along the axis of motion may be controlled by varying the amount of rotary motion that results from a given amount of reciprocal linear motion. Additionally, in some embodiments, the movement of the tool head may be controlled by directly controlling the rotary motion that drives the tool head along the axis of motion. The rotary motion may be controlled by adjusting the speed of continuous rotation and/or adjusting the frequency of pulsed rotations. | 07-12-2012 |
20100058566 | TURBINE PIN REMOVAL - Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems, apparatus, and methods to remove a pin from a hole including a rotor blade pin from a rotor turbine. | 03-11-2010 |
20090324350 | MACHINE FOR BORING, TURNING, AND FACE GROOVING - Embodiments of the present invention provide a machining tool including two spaced apart flange members adapted to be coupled with a turbine rotor while the rotor is in a first portion of a turbine casing. A carousel may be coupled to the flange members and adapted to rotate relative to the flange members, and adapted to couple with a cutting tool to complete a machining operation. Position of the cutting tool may be sensed and information on the position may be transmitted wirelessly to an operator readable display. | 12-31-2009 |
