    Innovative 5-axis strategies for cavity machining

    OPEN MIND offers innovative 5-axis strategies for cavity machining. These strategies allow demanding geometries such as deep cavities and steep walls to be programmed and milled in no time at all.

    5-axis Z-Level Finishing with simultaneous machining

    5-axis “Z-Level Finishing” is used to machine steep surfaces as planes or pockets. This allows flat areas to be automatically excluded during this type of finishing.

    As with conventional 3D tasks, flat or slightly curved areas can be machined using 5-axis profile finishing. The 5-axis collision avoidance allows users to mill near steep walls using a short tool in a single step. When combined with automatic indexing, steep walls can be machined in the removal direction of the mold.

    equidistant finishing with simultaneous machining | cavities | 5-axis –

    5-axis equidistant finishing with simultaneous machining

    5-axis equidistant finishing allows you to machine steep and flat areas in a single operation. This strategy generates especially smooth transitions between the individual tool paths. It helps prolong the lifespan of tools and machines, and ensures the best surfaces possible.

    5-axis curve machining makes it possible to engrave parts without collision when using short tools, even near steep walls.

    5-axis rest machining offers all the options of 3D rest machining in addition to the 5-axis tool positions. Automatic indexing determines the positions and areas that allow the part to be machined in a single operation.

    rework machining with simultaneous machining | cavities | 5-axis –

    5-axis rework machining with simultaneous machining

    5-axis rework machining is used to convert 3D programs into 5-axis programs. It allows 3D tools that have been excluded due to a collision to be machined as 5-axis simultaneous machining jobs or with auto­matically calculated fixed positions. All 3D and 5-axis toolpaths can also be optimized to improve milling results.
