  • Patent number: 8763678
    Abstract: A mold for producing a part, such as a turbomachine blade model, by injecting wax into a cavity, the cavity including at least two cavity elements, each of which is supported in a cavity block. The two cavity blocks are mobile relative to one another between a closed position for injecting the wax and an open position for removing the part following the injection of the wax. The two cavity blocks are mobile in a horizontal plane.

  • Patent number: 8747099
    Abstract: A tooling for injection-molding a part, the tooling including two cavity blocks each including a cavity formed therein of a shape corresponding to a shape of a part that is to be molded once the cavity blocks have been superposed, at least one of the cavity blocks including an ejection mechanism ejecting the molded part and including at least one ejector movable between a molding position and an ejection position. The ejector is guided to move between its two positions along a curved path, or a circular arc, of shape that corresponds to a shape of a portion of the mold part to be extracted from the cavity.

  • Publication number: 20140137409
    Abstract: A method for finishing a shape of a component by machining, in which one area is produced by smelting with a thickened portion forming a first surface with a surrounding profile and a theoretical profile defined by a second surface, the method including: defining, on the second surface, a grid forming nodes and squares; defining each point over which the machining tool is to pass according to weighting coefficients equal to weight to be given to the nodes of the square in which the tool is located, to be the barycenter of assigned nodes of the coefficients; measuring, for each node located outside an outer limit, the delta between the first surface at the node and the theoretical position of the node; calculating deltas for each node within the outer limit by interpolation from already known deltas; using the weighting coefficients, defining the delta to be applied at each point.

  • Patent number: 8708029
    Abstract: An injection mold producing a model of a turbine engine blade, including: a top surface that folds onto a bottom surface, both surfaces including long rods for supporting a core generating cooling cavities inside the blade, wherein the long rods of the bottom surface are configured to contact a first surface of the airfoil at bearing points, and the long rods of the top surface are configured to contact a second surface of the airfoil at clamping points; at least one short rod extending from one of the surfaces of the mold and pointing towards a false point located on one of the surfaces of the airfoil, the length of the short rod being shorter than the distance between the surface of the mold and the surface of the blade at the false point, and the difference between the length and the distance being equal to tolerance in relation to positioning of the false point in event of deformation of the core.

  • Patent number: 8490673
    Abstract: A method for deburring a ceramic foundry core obtained by injecting a ceramic paste, the paste including a binder having a predetermined glass transition temperature, into a mold and having at least one surface portion with a surplus of material forming a burr to be eliminated. The method includes the following stages: a) disposing and attaching the molded, unfired foundry core onto a mounting; b) placing a milling tool, having an elongated shape with a helically cut edge, onto a tool holder; c) causing the tool to rotate around its axis and touching the milling tool to the surface portion to be deburred; and d) freezing the surface portion to be deburred such that the foundry core is maintained at a temperature lower than a glass transition temperature during the deburring operation.

  • Publication number: 20130174998
    Abstract: The invention relates to an injection mold for producing a model of a turbine engine blade, comprising a top surface that folds onto a bottom surface, both surfaces having long rods for supporting a core (2) for generating cooling cavities inside the blade, wherein said long rods of the bottom surface are to contact a first surface (12) of the airfoil at bearing points (A51 to A53), and said long rods of the top surface are to contact a second surface of said airfoil at clamping points.

  • Publication number: 20130078335
    Abstract: A tooling for injection-molding a part, the tooling including two cavity blocks each including a cavity formed therein of a shape corresponding to a shape of a part that is to be molded once the cavity blocks have been superposed. At least one of the cavity blocks includes a mechanism for positioning a core, which mechanism includes at least one bearing surface for bearing against the core and at least one presser screw screwed into a threaded passage of the cavity block for purpose of holding the core in position against the bearing surface. The tooling further includes a force-limiter limiting force applied to the core by the presser screw.

  • Publication number: 20110049748
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for deburring a ceramic foundry core (10) obtained by injecting a ceramic paste, said paste including a binder having a predetermined glass transition temperature, into a mold and having at least one surface portion with a surplus of material forming a burr (B) to be eliminated. The method is characterized in that it includes the following stages: a) disposing and attaching the molded, unfired foundry core (10) onto a mounting (300); b) placing a milling tool (100), having an elongated shape with a helically cut edge, onto a tool holder; c) causing the tool to rotate around its axis and touching the milling tool to said surface portion to be deburred; and d) freezing (400) the surface portion to be deburred such that the foundry core is maintained at a temperature lower than said glass transition temperature during the deburring operation.
