Turbomachinery Component Machining
Rotating parts for turbines, compressors, pumps and turbochargers are our core work. We machine every airfoil part on this page with simultaneous 5-axis milling, from solid stock, to your print.
Short answer: JEP Manufacturing is a Houston-area CNC shop that specializes in 5-axis machining of blisks, blings, inducers, impellers and turbine blades. We cut Inconel, titanium and stainless steel to print, for customers nationwide.
Blisks
Integrally bladed rotors milled from one forging. Blades, hub and fillets in one clamping.
CoreBlings
Bladed rings and vane rings, with fixturing designed for thin, flexible ring sections.
CoreInducers
Helical, wrapped-vane inducers for pumps and turbopumps, often finished complete on a 9-axis mill-turn.
CoreImpellers
Open and shrouded impellers for turbines, compressors, turbochargers and expanders.
CoreTurbine blades
Rotor blades and stator vanes with dovetail or fir-tree roots, from single spares to stage sets.
RelatedShafts, disks and housings
Long shafts to 82 in, disks, casings and seals, so one shop can supply more of the assembly.
Why turbomachinery buyers send us RFQs
- True simultaneous 5-axis. Our Kitamura HX500 moves all five axes at once, which airfoils need. 3+2 positioning isn't enough.
- Mill-turn for round datums. Bores, hubs and rings are turned on 9-axis mill-turns, so every blade is cut from a true reference.
- Superalloy experience. Inconel 718/625 and Ti-6Al-4V are regular materials in our shop.
- Simulation before cutting. Every program is checked in full machine simulation in ESPRIT EDGE before it runs on an expensive forging.
- Traceability and documents. Heat-lot traceability, first article inspection and a certificate of conformance with every shipment.
- Small-shop response. Engineers read your RFQ, call with questions, and quote with a real lead time.
| Part | Primary process | Max size* |
|---|---|---|
| Blisk | 5-axis simultaneous | Ø31.5 in |
| Bling | Mill-turn + 5-axis | Ø31.5 in |
| Inducer | 9-axis mill-turn / 5-axis | Ø26 in / Ø31.5 in |
| Impeller | 5-axis simultaneous | Ø31.5 in |
| Blade / vane | 5-axis simultaneous | Confirmed per model |
| Shaft | Turning & milling | 82 in long |
*Machine envelope. Usable size depends on blade height, tool reach and fixturing; we confirm fit from your model.
Frequently asked questions
What turbomachinery parts does JEP Manufacturing machine?
Blisks (integrally bladed rotors), blings (bladed rings), pump and compressor inducers, turbine, compressor and turbocharger impellers, and turbine and compressor rotor blades and vanes. We also machine shafts, disks, seals, housings and other parts that go with them.
What industries use these parts?
Aerospace and defense engines, power-generation gas and steam turbines, oil and gas compression and pumping, turbochargers, cryogenic and rocket turbopumps, and industrial blowers and expanders.
Where are you located, and do you work with customers outside Texas?
We're in Houston, Texas. We quote and ship to customers across the United States. Most of our RFQs arrive by email with a STEP model and drawing, and we answer every one personally.
Have a print or a STEP model?
Send it over. We review every RFQ by hand and include a lead time with every quote.
