Super Precision & Productivity Magazine - Volume 2, Issue 2 - (Page 38) Propelling productivity forward with Bridgeport Honeywell Propulsion Systems Enterprise (PSE) designs and manufactures turbofan, turboprop, and turboshaft propulsion engines for a variety of commercial and military applications. Turbofan engines in the 3,000 to 7,000 pound thrust range provide power for business aviation and regional airline aircraft. Helicopter applications such as the CH-47 Chinook and UH-1H Huey are powered by 650 to 4500 shaft horsepower provided by Honeywell turboshaft engines. In addition, PSE products power the M1-A1 Abrams tank with a new armoured vehicle engine in development. PSE is a partner in several joint ventures such as the International Turbine Engine Corporation, the Light Helicopter Turbine Engine Company, and with General Electric for the CFE738 engine. PSE has delivered over 65,000 Honeywell propulsion systems to the market. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, PSE has over 4,000 employees worldwide. One of its major operations is based in Waterford, Ireland. This installation consists of 4 Bridgeport FGC machines, the first being installed in 2000. The components being machined here are for the cold section of the engine. The root of the compression blade is ground on the machine and is completed in one set-up from a grade of stainless steel. Previously the parts were broached to manufacture the root profile. The installation, now in its third year, has proved extremely reliable. The typical output of each two-machine-cell is 112 pieces per 8 hour shift employing one operator. This compares favourably with the 65 pieces produced per operator when the broaching process was employed.This equates to a 72% increase in productivity.
