What’s new in 2017.1? hyperMILL* 2017.1 means greater performance, more process reliability and increased flexibility. Significant auxiliary processing time savings can be achieved during mill turning with hyperMILL* mh/TURN-Linking. Numerous new functions for 2.5D, 3D and 5axis milling increase efficiency. These include 3D-optimised roughing and saxis swarf cutting with a curve. The hyperMILL* MAXX Machining performance package has also been extended. And, hyperCAD*-S once again features many new highlights. General liiMiHiJ Freely definable tool cutting edge 3 Global colour coding fortoolpaths...

Freely definable tool cutting edge This extension allows freely definable tool geometries to be used for machining in selected 2D cycles. hyperMILL® uses the free geometries of the tool cutting edge for simulation and collision checking. Suitable for the following 2D strategies: n ontour milling on 3D models C n layback milling P n lunge milling P Benefit:  Flexible tool definition, increased safety during collision checking, use of special tools. hyperMILL® Report Production reports with tool data and statistical data such as run­ ning time and path length can be created directly from hyperMILL®...

hyperMILL® MAXX Machining Performance, Performance, Performance Speed is more crucial than ever these days. This is why OPEN MIND developed hyperMILL MAXX Machining, the comprehensive high-performance solution for roughing, finishing and drilling. Trochoidal tool paths ensure extremely fast material removal. Innovative strategies for barrel cutters allow for finishing in record time. Milling tools tilted in the cutting direction can quickly and easily drill holes and open pockets in hard material without the need for a predrilled hole. These unique solutions from OPEN MIND save enormous amounts...

hyperMILL® MAXX Machining High-performance cutting (HPC) A new option allows the spindle speed to be adjusted in the plunge macro for roughing. Modifying the spindle speed and specifying a dwell time for the speed change ensures more toolfriendly machining. This option is available for all roughing jobs in the 2.5D, 3D and 5axis area. Benefit:  Tool-friendly, greater process reliability. 5axis tangent machining Three new options ensure better machining. A preliminary finishing step with an offset can now be defined for machining thin-walled planes. The ‘Dynamic contact point’ option is used to...

2D T-slot milling on 3D models This is a new strategy for the efficient machining of T-slots. Various tool references and an optimised axial infeed allow T-slots to be machined safely. All toolpaths are checked for collisions and therefore provide maximum safety. Benefit:  Fast machining of T-slots, user-friendly. 3D cutting edge machining This is a new cycle for the optimised 3D machining of cutting edges. Roughing and finishing operations are generated via a 3D curve selection. The rest material machining is generated via the ‘Reference job’ option. Here, the rest material areas of the previous...

3D optimised roughing: adaptive pocket With the help of this extension, adaptive pockets are fitted into the area to be roughed. As a result, high feedrate cutters can be used more efficiently and the linear machine movements allow higher feedrate values to be achieved than before. The machining can be executed as an adaptive pocket or as an adaptive pocket in combination with conventional roughing. Here, the toolpaths of the adaptive pocket and the remaining machining are optimally connected. Benefit:  Simple and fast programming, fast milling. 3D arbitrary stock roughing Thanks to the addition...

hyperMILL® millTURN-Linking hyperMILL® millTURN-Linking allows multiple job steps, which can be machined with the same tool, to be combined intelligently into a single job step. This eliminates retraction movements between the individual operations and significantly reduces auxiliary processing times. All connecting paths are optimised with respect to the component and checked for collisions. Benefit:  Reduced auxiliary processing times. Chip break during roughing This extended function allows the user to machine hard and soft materials more flexibly than before. The ‘Chip break’ option makes...

hyperMILL® VIRTUAL Machining Perfect fusion of virtual and real machining Real machine collisions not only cause damage to machines; they also lead to production losses and associated time delays. This is why the actual machining situation, that is, the machine including controller and PLC, is mapped virtually and simulated based on the NC code in the hyperMILL VIRTUAL Machining Center. In addition, ® the innovative ­ yperMILL VIRTUAL Machining Connector provides in-depth, unique networking and synchronisah ® tion with the machine. Reliable and comprehensive simulation Often, machine movements...

Info: hyperCAD®-S In a class of its own among CAD systems Only a high-end CAM developer can do CAD for CAM. With this in mind, OPEN MIND Technologies AG – known as an innovative pioneer – developed a new CAD system from scratch that is perfectly matched to hyperMILL . The system ® has its own 3D CAD kernel made by OPEN MIND. The result is a unique CAD system for CAM programmers that is very easy to learn and that vastly accelerates NC programming processes. hyperCAD -S fully exploits the performance offered by contemporary hardware systems to create digital manufactu® ring data. The advanced...
