Open Mind unveils optimal milling and maximum material removal module

The module will enable customers to achieve shorter cycle times, increased tool life and increased machine life. hyperMAXX performs climb milling with optimised cutting conditions, thus allowing a large volume of material to be removed very efficiently with high process stability. The new module is based on technology that enables dynamic feed rate adjustment to existing cutting conditions. The fully automated dynamic feed rate and in-feed adjustment facilitate fast and gentle climb milling to deliver perfect cutting conditions that enhance surface finishes as well as productivity performance. hyperMAXX offers also two selectable functions: 'opening cut' for full-cut machining of areas that are difficult to reach; and a 'lateral cutting only' option that enables trochoidal-style movements without full cutting. This plunge macro always creates a complete helix or ramp movement and automatically determines the helix radius. This enables up to 100 per cent of the cutting tool to be used by in-feeding, with no rest material remaining.
