Software Optimizes Large- and Small-Part Roughing
The hyperMaxx optional roughing strategy from Open Mind is fully integrated with hyperMill to optimize milling paths, maximize material removal and reduce machining times.
Algorithms are said to provide benefits including a constant load on the tool and machine during the entire machining process; reduced machining times based on larger axial depth of cut and better path layout on each cutting level; no sharp edges or sudden changes in the milling direction; automated, optimized adjustment of feed rate and in-feed machining for tight areas; and full use of the tool diameter without leaving material behind.
