Event set to demonstrate massive benefits of novel CAM and cutting strategies in 5-axis machining

1 min read

Increased material removal rates and tool life savings beyond 90% will be demonstrated at a series of 5-axis technical presentations at the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) with Boeing, supported by CADCAM specialist Open Mind and tooling expert WNT, on 26 and 27 September.

Open Mind and WNT are both AMRC Tier 1 members and they will “provide a master-class on how to maximise productivity through innovative 5-axis CAM strategies that can only be optimised through ground-breaking cutting tool innovations”.

Attendees will discover programming and cutting strategies that will show how the synergy between CAM software and cutting tools can generate cycle time improvements, increased material removal rates and tool life savings beyond 90%. Moreover, this can be achieved at the same time as reducing the load on machine spindles and improving surface finishes considerably.

Technical seminars from both Open Mind and WNT will demonstrate how such drastic improvements can be obtained. Following the theoretical seminar program, a Hermle C52 5-axis machining centre tooled by WNT and programmed with Open Mind’s hyperMILL CAM software will deliver practical machining examples.

The event will additionally be an opportunity for manufacturers to Open Mind’s 2018.1 Version of hyperMILL, while WNT will give its world premiere to a new tooling line that “is set to become the industry benchmark in HPC 5-axis machining”.

Those interested should contact either Open Mind or WNT.
