Efficiency and flexibility for turning and milling operations: hyperMILL® MILL-TURN Machining offers easy-to-program CAM strategies for simultaneous roughing and finishing.
Simultaneous machining further boosts the mill-turning efficiency of machines with a swivel head on the third axis. Complex workpiece geometries can be machined in a single operation by simultaneously adapting the approach angle during turning.
Two special strategies for simultaneous roughing and finishing make programming both simple and reliable. Here, synchronization lines are used to control the movement of the third axis. The simultaneous movement of the third axis is calculated automatically between the synchronization lines.
The innovative approach, which involves using a simultaneous third axis during roughing, offers the user many benefits. The flexible tool orientation ensures that the insert is optimally utilized and also helps to extend the tool life.
The simultaneous movement of the third axis allows complex contours to be finished in a single operation. This means that tool changes that were previously required due to limited access or undercut can be avoided.
hyperMILL® MILL-TURN provides 3-axis Simultaneous Turning strategies for finishing and even roughing. The innovative aspect of using a third axis during roughing offers some important advantages like more flexibility and optimal tool utilization.
