    The Blade package

    5-axis CAM software: The Blade package from OPEN MIND provides optimized milling strategies for complete machining.

    The Blade package provides automation features to generate simple machining definitions and incredibly short programming times. This includes the rolling ball function for milling transition radii, the best fit function for automatically setting the optimal start position for the finishing cycle and the automatic lead angle correction function for collision avoidance of the tool face with concave surfaces.

    5-axis Machining: Turbine Blade
    5-axis Machining: Aluminium Turbine Blade
    5-axis Machining: Blade Segment Example
    5-axis Machining: Turbine Blade

    This video shows a machining example of a turbine blade on a GROB G550 machine programmed with hyperMILL®.

    5-axis Machining: Aluminium Turbine Blade

    This video shows the machining process of an aluminum single blade made on a Grob G352 using Mitsubishi cutting tools and has been programmed with hyperMILL®. The final blade geometry was made segmentally using barrel cutters. This ensures high blade stability when roughing and finishing. For efficient root machining hyperMILL® offers proven CAM strategies from 2.5D to 5‑axis.
    Material: Aluminum
    Machine: Grob G352
    Cutting Tools: Mitsubishi Materials

    5-axis Machining: Blade Segment Example

    This video shows a blade segment made of NAK80 machined on a Mazak Variaxis C-600 using Seco Tools. For finishing barrel cutters and hyperMILL®MAXX Machining strategies have been used to save machining times.

    3d arbitrary stock roughing | turbine blade | 5-axis –

    3D arbitrary stock roughing

    On the basis of freely definable stock, blades are machined from various directions.

    top milling | turbine blade | 5-axis –

    5-axis blade top milling

    This strategy is used for finishing blade surfaces. It is possible to generate spiral toolpaths as either 5-axis or 4-axis simultaneous machining operations using ball-end or bull-nose cutting tools.

    swarf cutting | turbine blade | 5-axis –

    5-axis blade swarf cutting

    This strategy is used for the machining of platform surfaces. Swarf cutting can also be used to machine the transitions between the blade and the platform surfaces that cannot be machined using 5-axis Top Milling.

    fillet milling | turbine blade | 5-axis –

    5-axis blade fillet milling

    This function optimizes finishing at the transition between the blade and the platform surfaces at the tip or root.

    additional cycles for platform machining | turbine blade | 5-axis –

    Additional cycles for platform machining

    A series of 2.5D and 3D strategies are available for machining the blade platform and root sections.
