Open Mind CAM module supports tyre mould machining

Open Mind Technologies has unveiled a tyre module for its hyperMILL CAM software suite. Purposely designed for the NC programming of tyre moulds, at the heart of the module is the tyre clock, where the tyre design is defined with all segments, tracks, pitches and pitch sequences.

Automated functions support the creation and management of the elements and geometries required for programming. The user can display the suitable geometry for each operation in order to avoid errors, which means that each pitch only has to be programmed once. A new multiple track support function allows a separate pitch sequence to be defined for each track.
