Starrag LX Series
Turbine blade machining center
Starrag LX machines are designed for the optimum machining of turbine blades. All technical parameters, such as axis strokes, forces, torques and acceleration, are set according to the application requirements.
LX machine development is never completed; the goal is to continuously increase the customer benefits, i.e. increase productivity, increase quality or expand the application options.

New dimension in stability
Starrag offers comprehensive spindle know-how and for many years has successfully delivered more than 2000 units to the market.
Intelligent Starrag motor spindles are specifically designed for turbine blade manufacturing and are used throughout the entire series.
As a customer you benefit from unmatched productivity thanks to highest motor torque which leads to maximal MRR at roughing.
Our spindles prevents unwelcome machine stoppages and increases availability and lifetime due to best in class quality components and sensors.
Zero scrap thanks to displacement and temperature sensors. Extremely precise production is possible at any speed and power.

Features
Process substitution
The Starrag Process-Substitution of finishing processes like shot peening and barrel finishing.
Process cooling
One key factor to lowering your tooling cots and increasing your productivity is selecting the right cooling method. All state - of - the - art through - spindle cooling medias are available throughout the LX range.
Integrated turning functionality
All machines in the LX series are available with full turning capability. Free-form turning, specific measurement cycles etc. make complete and accurate machining a reality.
Adaptive machining
Productivity and accuracy are no longer just a question of machine and tool. Adaptive machining of the individual workpiece is a quantum leap for many applications.
Bar feeder solution for small blades
A 65mm bar feeder through the rotary axis (A) offers the possibility to completely finish machine small blades from bar. Finished parts are automatically placed in either the work piece Storage units or on a conveyor. The complete system delivers unstaffed production of all 6 blade sides.
6th side blade machining on LX 021
The LX 021 offers a NC axis driven support (U-axis) with an automatic
revolver unit where at three available interface positions support devices
(e.g. tailstock centre) and pneumatic activated clamping devices (e.g. vise)
for retaking can be mounted.
A 4th free revolver position allows the main spindle to swivel in a > 90
degree position. All this features allows hands free, automatic all side
operation of work pieces for «Blade machining in 1 go».
