OPEN MIND HYPERMILL SOFTWARE
The software from OPEN MIND optimizes infeed movements and automatically determines whether positioning is faster with the aid of a rotational axis. Fork head machines can also be used with the Optimizer to enable dynamic machining. This method enables spiral machining in a limited machine. The tool then gently approaches again and machining continues. If there is an axis limitation, the Optimizer interrupts the tool path, gently retracts and rewinds the axis to avoid the limitation. For example, if a machine has a limited axis rotation, the software takes this into account when selecting tool positions and ensures smooth machining. The Optimizer can also detect other possible problems. This gives companies greater flexibility when it comes to assigning machining capacity. CAM programs can be created completely independently of machine properties because the simulation software automatically adjusts to the machine in use and it performs comprehensive collision checks. The Optimizer ensures efficient and safe machining operations.Īnother major advantage of the Optimizer comes into play when programming on a wide variety of machining centres. The hyperMILL VIRTUAL Machining Optimizer analyses complete machining sequences with powerful optimisation algorithms while considering axis limitations. Given the high degree of complexity, it is difficult to determine the effects on all subsequent machining steps and make decisions about the best overall solution. This allows programmers to avoid errors when manually optimising axis positions. The hyperMILL VIRTUAL Machining Optimizer automatically finds the best solution for collision-free orientation with efficient traverse movements for multi-axis machining. This enables the users to overcome the complexity associated with alternative setup and orientation options in 5-axis machining. The machining process is simulated by using a digital twin.
