Patent ID: 8353105

Claim:
A method for machining blade tips of a rotor wheel drum of a turbomachine, the rotor wheel drum having both integrally formed-on and separately assembled blading, comprising: clamping an assembled rotor wheel drum onto an auxiliary turbomachine shaft so that such shaft acts as a workpiece carrier; rotating the rotor wheel drum; machining the blades in accordance with an actual assembly state of the rotor wheel drum in the turbomachine, including: wet machining integrally formed-on blades; dry machining separably attached blades; wherein, the wet machining is performed at a lower rotational speed of the rotor wheel drum than the dry machining; an area to be dry machined is shielded from an area to be wet machined; and, different machining tools are used as required by the respective type of machining and material of the blades to be machined.
