About Keller Aerotech
Keller Aerotech is an engineering office based in Villingen-Schwenningen, specialized in the manufacturing of impellers, blisks and rotating aerospace components. The company supports aerospace and turbomachinery companies in developing new and optimizing existing 5-axis milling processes. The range of services includes CAM programming for roughing, rest material machining and finishing, the selection of tools and clamping concepts, the development of custom postprocessors for impeller and blisk applications as well as software-based special solutions for tasks that go beyond the standard functions of common CAM systems. All processes are tailored to the customer's actual manufacturing conditions – machine tool, tools, clamping devices, automation and coolant strategy. Extensive experience exists in machining titanium alloys, nickel-based superalloys and aluminium materials. The company is organized as a sole proprietorship under owner Victoria Denisse Keller and serves customers in the DACH region as well as internationally.
