  • Patent number: 7261500
    Abstract: The corresponding machine tool or milling machine for carrying out the method described has a milling spindle which is displaceable in three spatial directions and with which the workpiece can be machined in a machining region, the machine tool or milling machine having at least one mounting slide, with which the workpiece, for the first machining step, can be mounted in gripping adapters. Furthermore, the machine tool or milling machine has at least one rocker, with which the partly machined workpiece can be mounted by means of at least one special gripping adapter in the first, finally machined region of the workpiece for the second machining step.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7112017
    Abstract: In a method of machining a blank from all directions using at least one machine tool, such as a milling machine, production of the ready-to-use, measured component which is controlled and classified with regard to quality, such as a turbine blade, occurs in as few steps and setups as possible with the use of machine tools and milling machines that as far as possible are of identical design. The blank, in a first machining step, is held by at least one first adapter and a first region is given its final partial shape corresponding to the intended use by a machine tool or milling machine. In a second machining step, the partly machined blank is held by at least one second adapter in the first, finally machined region, and the remaining region is given its final overall shape corresponding to the intended use by a machine tool or milling machine.
