U.K manufacturers operating in high-performance sectors such as aerospace, energy, and turbomachinery can now access cutting-edge blade machining technology with the introduction of the Gruppo Parpas UNIKA BLADE.
The UNIKA BLADE is built around an advanced box-in-box structural design and features linear motors on all axes, providing exceptional stiffness, minimal thermal distortion, and precise geometric stability. This architecture ensures high dynamic responsiveness, even under demanding 5-axis simultaneous machining operations of challenging materials such as titanium alloys, Inconel, and stainless steels.
Machine Performance and Capabilities:
- Rapid feed rates up to 60 m/min
- High-performance electro-spindles up to 30,000 rpm for precision cutting and finishing
- Direct-drive rotary tables with 360° continuous rotation and high torque for complex blade contours
- Volumetric accuracy maintained within ±10 µm across the entire working envelope
- Full 5-axis simultaneous machining for intricate aerodynamic profiles and multi-curvature surfaces
The UNIKA BLADE is optimised for complete machining workflows, from high-speed roughing of titanium blanks to ultra-precise finishing of aerodynamic surfaces. Its volumetric accuracy and rigidity significantly reduce blade deformation and machining variability, ensuring consistent repeatability and surface quality across production runs.
