CADCAM and Adaptive machining lead in the Blisk Repair Capability Acquisition team. Using complex turbomachinery functions of NX CAM to generate NC toolpaths for adaptive machining and laser blown powder. Taking on the lead role for the machining processes to mature the most complex repair solution Rolls-Royce has ever attempted.

Carrying out first article manual inspection with nest fixtures/slave datums, proving measured results by trigonometric calculation and over-checking master blades to finished drawing. Using CMM inspection to create blade measurement programs for Op Approval, FAIR and Production purposes.NPL Level 1 and 2 accredited. Competent CMM programmer using Mitutoyo MCOSMOS software for complex machined and cast parts. Trained in OGP visual/optical measurement system.

Using EDM and grinding (conventional and Makino) machining techniques to manufacture HP/IP/LP turbine blades. Technical ability to understand and resolve quality issues with both blades and machines.

Training for a specific role as a proof inspector assigned to Turbine Systems. Primary attachments served up to NVQ3 ‘Engineering Technical Support’ completion – February 2010: PMF Proof – Carrying out first article manual inspection with nest fixtures/slave datums, proving measured results by trigonometric calculation and over-checking master blades to finished drawing. Using CMM inspection routines to create and run blade measurement programs for Op Approval, FAIR and Production purposes.LDC NPI – Sole responsibility for implementing the use of a CMM as a new measurement system by manufacturing several multiple part fixtures and writing programs for a training environment. Table co-ordinate systems and multiple part measurements were written to drawing requirements. Geopak knowledge was increased by including logic and formatting data output to specification.
