Machi­ning work­pie­ces for the energy sector—from rene­wa­ble energy sources such as hydro and wind power to the con­ven­tio­nal oil and gas industry—places the hig­hest demands on pre­cis­ion, pro­cess relia­bi­lity, and fle­xi­bi­lity. Tight dimen­sio­nal and posi­tio­nal tole­ran­ces, as well as the machi­ning of a wide variety of often chal­len­ging mate­ri­als, require high-per­for­mance manu­fac­tu­ring solutions.

As one of the lea­ding manu­fac­tu­r­ers of CNC lathes and TURN-MILL machi­ning cen­ters, NILES-SIMMONS offers inno­va­tive tech­no­lo­gies and cus­to­mi­zed machine con­cepts for the cost-effec­tive pro­duc­tion of a wide variety of work­pie­ces. These include, among others, tur­bine shafts, gene­ra­tor shafts, drive shafts, wind power com­pon­ents, valve and com­pres­sor com­pon­ents, under­ground dril­ling com­pon­ents, and cable drums.

Thanks to com­pre­hen­sive pro­cess integration—for exam­ple, through the mil­ling of com­plex spe­cial pro­files and large-dimen­sion gear teeth, as well as the inte­gra­tion of grin­ding processes—numerous machi­ning steps can be com­bi­ned into a sin­gle setup. The relia­ble machi­ning of high-strength mate­ri­als such as Inco­nel is also part of our range of ser­vices. The results are the hig­hest pre­cis­ion, maxi­mum pro­duc­ti­vity, and a sus­tainable increase in pro­cess efficiency.

Applications

Machining of Oil and Gas Valves

Com­plete machi­ning of heavy-duty val­ves for the oil and gas indus­try. With a wide range of inte­gra­ted technologies—such as tur­ning (inclu­ding Inco­nel sur­faces), mil­ling, thread cut­ting, face tur­ning, deep-hole dril­ling, inter­nal machi­ning with a bor­ing bar, and intel­li­gent pro­cess monitoring—NILES-SIMMONS TURN-MILL machi­nes pro­cess com­plex work­pie­ces from blank to finis­hed part in a sin­gle setup.

Impeller Machining

Com­plete machi­ning of an impel­ler geo­me­try using 5‑axis mil­ling for appli­ca­ti­ons in the energy sec­tor. The machi­ning is per­for­med using a long-over­han­ging mil­ling tool, which results in a dam­ped mil­ling mount.
