OPEN MIND at EMO 2025
Turn-milling with hyperMILL® – live!
22.09.2025 — Wessling, Hanover (Germany), September 22, 2025 – OPEN MIND will be presenting live optimized turning and milling with the hyperMILL® CAD/CAM suite at EMO 2025 at booth A41 in Hall 6. On the Mazak INTEGREX i-100H S turning and milling center, an aerospace inspired workpiece will be manufactured using state-of-the-art machining strategies.
The 102 mm long high-strength aluminum (EN AW 7075) demo part with a diameter of 135 mm will use 5-axis technologies and hyperMILL® TURNING solutions from OPEN MIND. The demonstration will showcase a wide range of functions and strategies for mill-turning, turn-milling, and turning, which have been further enhanced in the latest release, hyperMILL® 2025. First, machining operations programmed with hyperMILL® MAXX Machining performance package will be shown. Trochoidal roughing will be used for both turning and milling. HPC finishing with 5-axis tangential machining will be performed with conical barrel cutters from Ceratizit to demonstrate how optimized strategies ensure the best surface quality in the shortest possible time.
New functions
OPEN MIND is taking this opportunity to present new features added to the latest release. For 3D-optimized roughing, the pocket milling algorithm has been redesigned to achieve greater efficiency in roughing, especially with large lateral infeeds. Toolpath roundings can be better controlled thanks to the separate definition of contour and path radius. New, convenient deburring functions are also available. 5-axis deburring is an effective solution for breaking sharp edges on parts. After selecting the edges, the strategy automatically calculates all toolpaths. The strategy supports both a 3-axis and 5-axis mode, in which machining is indexed where possible. The same applies to the strategy for deburring edges on holes.
Another innovation on show will be the automatic stock chain. It is a new stock handling system in hyperMILL® This provides reliability, especially when switching between turning and milling operations. hyperMILL® creates all stock models automatically in the correct order — even if a machining job is reordered.
New in hyperMILL® VIRTUAL Machining: Simulation of part transfer on a machine with main and counter spindles and a milling head.
What the digital twin can do
The EMO demonstration also offers an opportunity to experience the latest version of hyperMILL® VIRTUAL Machining. For the first time, a machine with a main and counter spindle as well as a milling head has been simulated to demonstrate how part transfer is programmed and simulated. Previously, only the programming could be simulated, but now the transfer can also be simulated. Machining operations with the main and counter spindles can be conveniently programmed in a job list, and the machining sequence can then be simulated in detail.
HPC turning ensures high material removal in the shortest possible time.
