What is Rotor
Usage: The progressive cavity pump rotor is the core component of fluid transportation, which is widely used in oil drilling (high viscosity crude oil/sand containing mud), chemical industry (acid-alkali corrosive fluid), sewage treatment (including solid particulate sewage) and other fields.
Materials: stainless steel, superalloys, corrosion-resistant alloys, etc. (customized according to the scenario).
Geometric characteristics: spiral profile, large length-to-diameter ratio (up to 6m), easy deformation;
Common risks: deformation and insufficient precision during machining, resulting in seal failure and poor chip removal.

Rotor Whirling Core Pain Point
- No adaptation equipment: traditional equipment cannot process 5-6 meters long rotors, missing out on high-value orders;
- Inefficiency: Traditional lathes have long processing cycles, delaying order delivery;
- Cumbersome maintenance: Bearings require frequent lubrication, leading to high downtime costs.
Rotor Whirling Process
Blanks (forged/cast) → roughing → finishing
- Rough machining: internal cutting milling head (high-power 7.5kW variable frequency motor) is used to quickly remove the margin; Core equipment: global four-jaw chuck (stable clamping long rotor), salt mountain chip removal machine (forced cooling by high-pressure water pump, smooth chip removal).
- Finishing: internal cutting milling head, X/Z axis precision ball screw drive (repeated positioning 0.03mm), guaranteed spiral surface tolerance ± 0.05mm; Core equipment: new generation control system.
- Cooling chip evacuation: The chip evacuator has a high-pressure water pump to avoid chip accumulation and extend the tool life by 20%.
