Edm Electrode Tool Holder

View page
US Patent:
7291800, Nov 6, 2007
Filed:
Feb 23, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/360234
Inventors:
Richard Varsell - Bristol CT, US
James M. Koonankeil - Marlborough CT, US
Assignee:
United Technologies Corporation - Hartford CT
International Classification:
B23H 7/26
US Classification:
219 6915
Abstract:
An electrical discharge machining assembly has a fixture that retains an electrode. The fixture has clamps to apply a clamping force to the electrode. A threaded member adjusts the compression of a spring to change the clamping force for each clamp. For each clamp, the spring applies a force to a clamp lever pivotably attached to the fixture. Pivoting of the clamp lever moves a lower portion of each clamp lever closer to the fixture clamping the electrode to the fixture body. A clamp release is located proximate to the fixture to rotate the clamp levers in an opposite direction releasing the clamping pressure and the electrode.

System And Method For Inspection Of Hole Location On Turbine Airfoils

View page
US Patent:
7574035, Aug 11, 2009
Filed:
Apr 7, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/402366
Inventors:
James M. Koonankeil - Marlborough CT, US
Assignee:
United Technologies Corporation - Hartford CT
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
H04N 7/18
G01B 11/14
G01B 7/00
F01D 5/18
US Classification:
382152, 382141, 348 86, 348 92, 348 94, 356615, 702150, 702157, 415118, 416 61
Abstract:
An inspection system for locating multiple features on an exterior of an object includes a fixture, a camera, a computer and software. The fixture secures the object and includes a plurality of nest points for mating with specific positions on the exterior of the object, and a reference point located at a specific position relative to the nest points and within a best-plane of the object. The camera is positioned normal to the best-plane of the object and obtains video imaging of a plurality of the features and the reference point. The computer communicates with the camera and collects the video imaging. The software determines the actual parameters of the features relative to the reference point based on the video imaging.

Photo-Etched Edm Electrode

View page
US Patent:
7618514, Nov 17, 2009
Filed:
Feb 3, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/347343
Inventors:
Dean N. Marszal - Southington CT, US
James M. Koonankeil - Marlborough CT, US
Assignee:
United Technologies Corporation - Hartford CT
International Classification:
B23H 1/04
C23F 1/00
B23H 9/10
US Classification:
1563451, 219 6915
Abstract:
An electrical discharge machining electrode includes a body and one or more shaped teeth. The one or more shaped teeth of the body have a diffuser section and a metering section in electrical communication therewith. The body and the teeth may be formed by a process of photochemically etching a substrate made from an electrically conductive material.

Template For Evaluating Parts And Method Of Using Same

US Patent:
20050217131, Oct 6, 2005
Filed:
Jul 23, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/898694
Inventors:
Richard Varsell - Bristol CT, US
Jesse Boyer - Berlin CT, US
Dorel Moisei - West Hartford CT, US
James Koonankeil - Marlborough CT, US
Lukas Rubino - Baltimore MD, US
International Classification:
G01B003/14
US Classification:
033562000
Abstract:
A template for evaluating a part, comprising: a surface having a shape corresponding to the part; and at least one element on the surface corresponding to a desired location of a feature on the part. A method of evaluating a part, comprising the steps of: providing a template having a shape corresponding to the part and at least one element thereon corresponding to a desired location on the part; associating the template with the part; and using the element to determine whether the feature is at the desired location.

Electric Discharge Machining Hole Drilling

US Patent:
20130001203, Jan 3, 2013
Filed:
Jun 29, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/171935
Inventors:
Sergey Mironets - Norfolk CT, US
James M. Koonankeil - Marlborough CT, US
Edward F. Pietraszkiewicz - Southington CT, US
Thomas R. Davis - Yalesville CT, US
Assignee:
UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION - Hartford CT
International Classification:
B23H 1/02
US Classification:
219 6913, 219 6917
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for machining apertures into a conductive workpiece is disclosed. The apparatus has a tank capable of holding a dielectric fluid, and a fixture for holding the workpiece in the tank. An electric discharge machine with an electrode, a power supply connected to the electrode that produces machining pulses for electric discharge machining through the workpiece, and a controller for regulating the power supply and electrode position is also part of the apparatus. Finally, the apparatus has a pressure transducer connected to the fixture, and a process controller in communication with the electric discharge machine controller and pressure transducer.

US Patent:
20230047576, Feb 16, 2023
Filed:
Aug 13, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/401899
Inventors:
- Farmington CT, US
James M. Koonankeil - Marlborough CT, US
Brian T. Hazel - Avon CT, US
Paul E. Denney - Northborough MA, US
Dominic J. Mongillo - West Hartford CT, US
International Classification:
G01N 22/00
C23C 28/00
Abstract:
A manufacturing method is provided. During this method, a preform component for a turbine engine is provided that includes a substrate. A meter section of a cooling aperture is formed in the substrate. An external coating is applied over the substrate. At least a portion of the substrate and the external coating is scanned with an imaging system to provide scan data indicative of an internal structure of the portion of the substrate and the external coating. A diffuser section of the cooling aperture is formed in the external coating and the substrate based on the scan data.

Inventors:
- Farmington CT, US
James M. Koonankeil - Marlborough CT, US
International Classification:
B23H 5/04
Abstract:
A manufacturing method is provided. During this method, a preform component is provided for a turbine engine. The preform component includes a substrate comprising electrically conductive material having an outer coating comprising non-electrically conductive material applied over a surface of the substrate. A preform aperture is formed in the preform component using an electrical discharge machining electrode. The preform aperture includes a meter section of a cooling aperture in the substrate. The preform aperture also includes a pilot hole in the outer coating. A diffuser section of the cooling aperture is formed in at least the outer coating using a second machining process.
