Francis Rotor Machining Workflow on Multiaxis CNC

Shared by the team at Hacker Industrial
A comprehensive workflow for CNC machining of a Francis rotor is highlighted in this project from the energy sector. The process relied on advanced multiaxis and rotary applications typical in power generation manufacturing.

Complex Impeller Milling
Video screenshots document multiple stages: a five-axis machining center processes the aluminum rotor using a 4th-axis rotary table, and precise contour milling of complex impeller geometries is visible throughout. CAD/CAM simulations confirm toolpath integrity and highlight the close correlation between digital planning and physical machining.

ENCY for Multiaxis Programming
ENCY CAD/CAM software was central to this workflow, supporting the transition from simulation to real-part machining. As seen in the media, ENCY’s capabilities enable smooth multiaxis programming, ensuring quality outcomes for demanding projects in energy and oil & gas.

Result Quality
The project demonstrates practical results—form accuracy and surface finish—on challenging turbomachinery components, as captured in the images and simulations.
