OPEN MIND Technologies has introduced its latest hyperMILL 2022.1 CAD/CAM software suite, which offers users new and enhanced features for NC programming in applications ranging from 2.5D to 5-axis.
Highlights include a new break-edge function for contour milling, combined pocket milling together with a finish path allowing cutter compensation, and increased efficiency for 3D plane machining. The new automated 3D plane machining strategy improves machining quality by searching for suitable, high performance path layouts according to parameters including when adaptive pockets are present.
For improved tool data reliability and time savings, tool data such as length, radius, corner radius, and tool number and name, can be transferred directly from the CAD/CAM software to a Heidenhain TNC640 control using the CONNECTED Machining module. It is possible to import calibrated tools from a tool management system into the software to create programs, and then transfer the tool list or individual tool data to the machine.
Five-axis radial machining strategy for blow molds has been enhanced to better handle steep areas and undercut regions, and to adapt to 3-axis machines as required.
