What’s new in 2015.1? The new hyperMILL® version features several optimisations and five outstanding highlights. New functions for 2D and 5axis machining considerably reduce programming times and enable efficient machining. Numerous powerful extensions in hyperCAD®-S, the CAD system for CAM users, offer real added value. Internal process quality control on the CNC machine tool is becoming increasingly important. There are three new probing cycles featured in hyperMILL® 2015.1 in order to continue to satisfy this requirement: measurement of rectangle and circle elements as well as measuring parallel to the axis. The touch probe is easy to program in all cycles, like a tool in hyperMILL®. Users can choose between three measuring functions: Informative process control: It is possible to simply create measuring data for the individual component geometries and access it from the controller. Active process control: The probing cycles can be integrated into the machining process in order to actively control it. Deviations in dimensional accuracy are processed in the controller for proper machining based on the offset value. Zero-point definition: This way, it is possible to quickly and reliably define the component zero-point. In addition, all movements are checked for collisions. By starting the NC measuring program, the machine records the measurement results that can be evaluated later with a separate program. Measuring supports both 3axis and 5axis machines.
