turbines
The performance and efficiency of modern gas turbines, steam turbines, and aircraft engines depend largely on the precision of their components. Our electrical discharge machines (EDM) are specially optimized for machining high-strength materials such as nickel-based superalloys and titanium alloys.
Through the controlled use of EDM technology, we minimize the heat-affected zone (HAZ) and avoid structural changes.
The result: maximum dimensional accuracy, optimum surface quality, and durable turbine components for applications in aerospace, power generation, and the oil and gas industry.
Turbine wheels, compressor wheels and impellers
Perfect geometries for maximum flow efficiency
The flow characteristics of turbine and compressor wheels are decisive for the performance of modern turbomachinery. Our EDM technology enables high-precision machining of finest structures with tightest tolerances — whether for compressor wheels in aircraft engines, turbine impellers in power plants, or high-performance impellers for offshore installations.
Special sink-EDM-strategies ensure perfect edge quality and prevent unwanted hardening in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) through controlled energy input. The result: longer service life, maximum performance, and highest energy efficiency.

Precision machining for maximum performance
EDM is an essential part of the manufacturing process for turbines and compressor impellers.
Turbine blades
High precision cooling structures for extreme demands
Turbine blades in high-pressure turbines must withstand enormous thermal and mechanical forces. OPS-INGERSOLL has perfected EDM technology to precisely, efficiently, and reproducibly machine micro cooling channels and aerodynamic profiles in high-temperature-resistant materials such as Inconel and titanium.
Our optimized processes enable precise control of the heat-affected zone (HAZ) to prevent hardening, cracking, and undesired structural changes. The result: heavy-duty, durable blades with maximum performance for highest efficiency in energy generation, aerospace, and the oil and gas industry.
