We’ve bought additional programming and help for parts that we weren’t necessarily familiar with, and OGP has been very responsive in that area. He said: “As Winbro’s advanced machining division has gained more and more parts, in both aerospace and industrial gas turbines, we’ve gone back to OGP UK for turnkey solutions. ![]() Winbro chief technology officer Andy Lawson says the solutions are key to being able to guarantee quality for customers. The Leicestershire-based firm teamed up with OGP UK eight years ago and now uses three of its SmartScope systems – a CNC 300 and two Vantage 450s. These holes are critical in allowing internal airflow to prevent overheating during engine operation and, because effective cooling improves component efficiency, this leads to reduced fuel consumption and nitrogen oxide emissions on today’s generation of lightweight, low-noise jet engines. ![]() Winbro Group, a leader in the design and production of machines and technologies based on non-conventional processes, specialises in producing the miniature cooling holes and forms in components used in the most demanding part of aero and industrial gas turbines.
