NREC is specialized within multiblade stuff. Their cam solution MAX-PAC can only machine impellers, blisks and shrouded version of these 2. But it should be really powerful.
A friend of mine is machining these impellers.

It's an Alzmetall GS 650/5-FDT with Siemens 840D controller

They make some really nice machines. Much more rigid than Hermle and other Gantry+trunion style 5X.
Sounds like NREC. I once heard a pricetag around 100k USD for the full MAX-PAC bundle. For that much you can almost get a Level 3 Multiaxis and a VF-2TR to run the job on
In hyper.... only Flank Milling ( SWARF ) and Plung Roughing by default supports bullnose tools. But if you know the hidden - and powerful - cfg-parameters you can open up for bullnose on all the multiblade cycles
Looks like you need very long holder to machine small part at A-90. Otherwise you'll need a high fixture and then you'll end up not having enough Y-axis travel.
The MX-520 comes with both IPS and Camplete. Then you've both offline and online collsion check.
Get it with the "5X related option package" and you're good to go. If you are US based and buying through Methods you'll get it bundled with Camplete:-)
stl is triangle data. I don't think you can convert this into stp ( solid ) data without using somekind of reverse enginering program like Geomagic Studio or similar.
Thank you for the replys
Did also try Blade Expert but skiped it because it wouldn't allow bullnose. Ballnose roughing takes way too long time.
With the trim/extend function I managed to machine the entire pocket, now I only need to get the tool inclination right so it don't gouge the left blade.
Heidenhain control?
Sounds like a problem with the position monitoring. I think there is a timer parameter or something similar that can be increased slightly to overcome the problem.
Thanks for the reply.
After a call to the local grinder we ended on 14,0g/cm^3
I know we can get material with higher density but standard carbide has a fair good price. As we can use Ø20,00 they just need to cut it in the right length.
I would expect pure tungsten to be expensive?
No need to weld as it's designed as a press fit.
