Georg Upgrade of Turbine Rotor Lathe at Siemens


Currently, the specialists of Georg machine tools division realize a complete upgrade for Siemens works in Görlitz, Germany. An existing Turbine Rotor Lathe (year of construction 1963) including new headstock and new machining unit with integrated drilling and milling unit is updated.

The modernization provides an increase of the center height by 200 mm. Thus, the maximum turning diameter has increased to 3,200 mm. Further, the new machining unit enables the complete machining on one machine, e.g. the milling of fir tree grooves and application of flange drills. With higher performance and torque the new headstock ensures an increased manufacturing capacity and an economically more efficient production.

In cooperating with their customers, Georg emphasizes trustful and long-term relationships. Since 1975 we ensure optimum manufacturing success for Siemens. To date, we have developed more than 30 machines worldwide in use at Siemens", explains Reinhard Helmer, Managing Director of Georg machine tools division.

Just last year, the medium-sized company has commissioned a 120 t Turbine Rotor Lathe at Siemens Energy in Mülheim, Germany. At the end of 2011, additional orders were placed for a large Lathe for the machining of generator rotors for Siemens in Erfurt, Germany and a Mobile Lathe for the blading of gas turbines for Charlotte, North Carolina, USA.

We focus on an open dialogue with our customers, especially in development. After all, we want to create lasting values that sustain the success for our customers", emphasizes Reinhard Helmer. There are always new, very specific challenges in Special Machine Tools as well as Lathes, Drilling-, Milling- and Grinding Machines. "Our long-standing know-how and our creativity are needed here."
