MAXXimum High-Performance Turning
Trochoidal turning
Productivity, process reliability, and time savings are the clear advantages delivered with this package. Here, the proven concept of trochoidal milling was successfully applied to the roughing of all turned parts.
With hyperMILL® MAXX Machining, the trochoidal milling concept can be quickly and easily applied to all turned parts. The connecting paths between the individual toolpaths as well as their approach and retraction movements are perfectly aligned with the respective machining application. This not only significantly reduces the machining time, but also increases the tool life substantially. Homogeneous machine movements reduce the load on the individual axes of the machine tool.
Trochoidal Toolpaths
Intelligent algorithms calculate toolpaths that correspond to a trochoidal shape. The individual paths are perfectly connected and the approach and retract movements are optimally harmonized. Optimized feeds provide maximum speed.
Infeed Strategies
Machining takes place in a uniform direction or in a zigzag pattern. The infeed takes place in a linear or ramp-like movement. Depending on the machining case, the inserts are always utilized to the fullest.
3-axis simultaneous high-performance turning
The combination of HPC and simultaneous machining combines all the advantages of both technologies. HPC simultaneous machining further boosts the turning efficiency of machines with a swivel head on the third axis. Complex workpiece geometries can be machined in a single operation by simultaneously adapting the approach angle during turning.
High-Performance Turning Example
In this video you can see an impressive HPC Turning demo part made in collaboration with CERATIZIT. It clearly shows how efficient and flexible it is. It can be used for OD turning, face turning, grooves of all sorts and ID turning. All this without any additional programming efforts.
