Machining Large Power Generation Components on our Vertical Turret Lathe

Machining Large Components on our VTL (Vertical Turret Lathe).   

Greno Industries has two exciting jobs in the large turning work cell area, these include a valve seat for the power generation market (above). This project is 45” diameter, 10” tall.  What’s important is the part has an 8 Ra surface finish on the I.D..  The Ra on a #8 finish would be 0.025 (1) Ra which is very nearly flawless finish that creates a nearly perfect seal.

The material is Nickel Chrome Moly. The part was manufactured complete and utilized our Cat50 live tooling on our Toshiba TU200 VTL.

We also have another power generation component fabricated on our Toshiba Vertical Turret Lathe. This project  is this “blower hub” made from a Nickel Chrome Moly alloy, with the same dimensions of 45” diameter, 10” tall. The “blower hub”  is critical part in making the the clients full assembly function correctly.
