3-axis Simultaneous Turning
Efficiency and flexibility for turning operations
hyperMILL® offers easy-to-program CAM strategies for simultaneous roughing and finishing.
Simultaneous machining further boosts the mill-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.
3-axis Simultaneous Roughing
The innovative approach, which involves using a simultaneous third axis during roughing, offers the user many benefits. The flexible tool orientation ensures that the insert is optimally utilized and also helps to extend the tool life.
3-axis Simultaneous Finishing
The simultaneous movement of the third axis allows complex contours to be finished in a single operation. This means that tool changes that were previously required due to limited access or undercut can be avoided.
3-axis Simultaneous High-Performance Turning
With hyperMILL® MAXX Machining, the trochoidal milling concept can be quickly and easily applied to all turned parts, even with 3-axis simultaneous roughing.
The connecting paths between the individual toolpaths as well as their approach and retract movements are perfectly adapted to the respective machining application. This not only significantly reduces the machining time, but also substantially increases the tool life.
