ProfitMilling and High Speed Machine
Enhance machining and extend tool life with this patented method. Optimize cycles and achieve significant productivity improvements in high-speed machining.
How ProfitMilling Works The ProfitMilling cycle’s significant improvement in machining time and tool durability is based on a patented method that optimizes the cycle, producing an even cutting load and reducing cutting forces. Optimized, high-speed tool paths reduce the machine’s unnecessary accelerations and direction changes, which would otherwise weaken the cutting load and increase cutting forces. The chip thinning technique enables a full axial depth and a light radial contact, allowing for significantly higher feed rates. The ProfitMilling cycle dynamically adapts the feed based on the cutting geometry and tool path variations, ensuring that the programmed cutting load is maintained throughout the cut. Position changes, spiral movements, and trochoidal movements at the part boundaries reduce the machine’s acceleration and deceleration needs, increasing the overall speed. This makes it easier for the CNC machine to achieve the feed rate and maximizes material removal.
