hyperMILL makes tool and mold manufacturing smarter

Programming is an area of ​​manufacturing that has significant potential implications for upgrading and streamlining processes. Thanks to the advanced machine tool intelligence, today's programming process becomes more and more automated.

Although outsourcing to low-income countries is a trend, manufacturers who can create complex custom workpieces, tools and molds in the short time after receiving an order will have good market opportunities. German-made products are known for their high quality, especially with their complex workpieces and machine tools. To cope with the growing demand for fast and low-cost manufacturing, many tool and mold manufacturers have shifted their focus to emerging technologies. To this end, the CAD/CAM industry has proposed solutions aimed at reducing programming time.

Many companies have adopted the hyperMILL CAM solution developed by OPEN MIND Technologies AG for tool and mold manufacturing. The software offers a combination of extensive 2D and 3D strategies, HSC capabilities and advanced 5-axis technology. This is the flexibility that CAM solutions bring to companies, enabling companies to produce a wide range of product portfolios. In recent years, OPEN MIND Technologies AG has also been developing integrated automation products that reduce manual input and minimize machine run time.

Comprehensive solution with a consistent user interface

With its 2D, 3D, HSC and 5-axis modules, hyperMILL is a complete tooling and tooling solution. The simplified user interface shared by all modules is intuitive and designed for everyday use. Data entry with graphically supported dialog windows and menu controls allows many programming steps to be seen at a glance. The plausibility check function ensures that all input data is valid. hyperMILL automatically detects the erroneous inputs and highlights them in red and provides correction suggestions in the error message. The main advantage of this unified user interaction approach is that you can safely and reliably program specific machining strategies. Thanks to the wide range of processing strategies offered by the software, you can always find the right strategy for your own processing.

More advanced

Many machining tasks in the tool and mold making field can be programmed using 2D and 3D strategies. The software's 3D loop function provides experienced users with a variety of smart add-on features to optimize machining quality and machine run time. The testimony to this is the new high-performance roughing strategy of hyperMAXX. This new optional roughing strategy will significantly reduce machine run time. The ideally distributed milling path and dynamically adjustable feed rate will provide the user with the best possible parameters (ideal), which will significantly reduce the roughing time.

Automatic detection of tool position

Regardless of indexing or 5-axis milling, many users are afraid of having to define their own tool positions. To solve this problem, OPEN MIND Technologies AG has developed a series of automatic functions that greatly simplify the programming of 5-axis machining steps. This is mainly achieved by an automatic collision avoidance function. The key to the 5-axis simultaneous machining operation is the preferred angle and the maximum tilt angle. The machining cycle automatically calculates an optimum collision-free tool position. Automatic indexing also significantly reduces programming time thanks to the automatically generated fixed tool inclination, which also improves surface quality when using the machine with low dynamics.
