Beyond choosing the right tool for material removal, the strategies used for cutting a workpiece can play just as vital of a role in machining.
Manufacturers are constantly challenged with intense competition and are continuously in search of new means with which to produce quality parts within shorter periods of time, and at reduced cost. The ProfitMilling roughing strategy is a high-speed material-removal cycle that allows programmers to take a significantly deeper, faster and more efficient cut while reducing wear on the tool and machine. This white paper explores the ProfitMilling strategy and its impact on machine-tool cycle times, tool life, programming time, energy consumption, and productivity.
Topics discussed include:
- What is ProfitMilling?
- Comparison to traditional roughing strategies
- Advantages and benefits of ProfitMilling
- Impact to energy consumption, tool wear, and productivity
- Test results and examples on actual machined parts
