[0002] The support ring is a key component of a variable geometry turbocharger, installed between the gas intake and exhaust housings to mount the adjustable nozzle ring blades. Therefore, it requires precise dimensions and radial bore spacing. Failure to do so will affect the gas intake flow, reducing turbocharger performance, and in severe cases, may cause interference between the installed nozzle ring blades and the nozzle cover, damaging the turbocharger. Due to the complex structure and high dimensional accuracy requirements of this component, the following machining challenges exist:

[0003] 1. The radial holes are relatively long, with a depth of 186mm at the two bosses and a boss length of 76mm, requiring a machining tool length of at least 300mm. (Inner hole area) The stepped circle requires high dimensional accuracy. (Inner hole diameter) The existing equipment's spindle head cannot extend into the inner hole for machining. (Minimum diameter of the through hole) The coaxiality requirement with the hole is high, and it cannot be guaranteed by using boring and milling from the outside.

[0004] 2. The part is a cast blank, requiring a significant amount of material to be removed during machining. To minimize deformation after finishing, rough machining is performed at the center of the radial holes. The through hole is difficult to align during subsequent finishing. The center and angle of the hole. Summary of the Invention

[0055] A reliable and stable manufacturing method has been found for machining support rings and similar long radial hole ring-shaped parts:

[0056] 1. For machining long radial holes, the process can be divided into two parts, machined from the inner and outer sides respectively. The inner hole side can use an angle head to change the machining direction, converting from vertical to horizontal machining. The outer diameter side is machined horizontally by a five-axis machine in the same clamping.

[0057] 2. For the alignment of radially distributed holes during finish machining, two locating pin holes can be machined along the axial direction during the rough machining of the radial holes. Combined with an alignment fixture, this allows for the alignment of the center of the rough-machined radial holes. 5. Detailed Implementation Method
