Product catalog summary
Overview: The SETCO™ Spark Erosion Grinding (SEG) System, Model 1500, is a portable electronic discharge machining system designed for precise metal stock removal using AC current. It is particularly effective for machining honeycomb structures in jet engine parts.
Components: The SEG-1500 includes a high amp spindle (Series 1500, type 2701.5.36GTY), a cart-mounted power pack system, an aluminum spindle mounting bracket, six electrode wheels (two each of 4”, 5”, and 6” diameter), an electrode wheel arbor (Type 1-ANB), and necessary power cables.
Key Features: The SEG system offers burr-free finishing, minimal mechanical preparation, and significant stock removal per pass (up to 0.020”). It can machine contour shapes and uses a no-contact electrical machining process to reduce strain. The system is capable of machining honeycomb down to 1/50” of cell size and foil down to 0.002” thickness. It operates with coolant to manage heat and debris, and requires low maintenance.
Applications: The SEG system is used for remanufacturing honeycomb seals and rings for jet engines, offering a cost-effective alternative to new parts. It reduces machine time by 30-50% compared to traditional methods.
Technical Specifications: The system requires 3-phase, 60Hz, 230V or 460V input power, with special voltages available upon request. It provides an AC output power of 0 to 24 VAC, with continuous current up to 125 amps and peak current of 170-200 amps. The spindle is a SETCO Model 2701.5-36GTY with a 1-1/2 hp motor and 3600 rpm speed.
General Specifications: The system can machine metal structures down to specific dimensions, with electrode wheels made from cold rolled steel. It includes standard cabling with plug-type connections and a shipping weight of approximately 1050 lbs.
