hyperMAXX® for 2D pocket milling The dynamic feedrate adjustment of hyperMAXX® (High Performance Cutting) reduces milling times, increases tool life and prolongs machine life. hyperMAXX® is fully integrated in hyperMILL® and can be opened as an optimisation strategy for 2D pocket milling, 3D arbitrary stock roughing and 5axis shape offset roughing. Tool life can be tripled Constant load on tool and machine Machining operations always with climb milling No sharp edges or sudden changes in milling direction No post-processor adjustments required New “Rib Machining” cycle OPEN MIND worked together with one of Germany's largest automotive manufacturers to develop the new “Rib Machining” cycle to program negative rib shapes. This feature automatically detects grooves to be milled. Steep areas and floors are machined separately. Pocket machining and collision avoidance (shaft and tool against stock, trim curve and model) are integrated in the cycle. The system selects a suitable roughing strategy based on the geometric situation at hand. Contiguous areas are completely machined. The cycle supports tapered and conically strengthened tools. Benefit: Trouble-free programming of negative rib shapes, shorter machining times and a higher level of quality.
