Pre-Drilled Hole Support
February 1, 2014
Celeritive Technologies, Inc. has released VoluMill version 5.6. The latest version, integrated within several CAM systems or available as the standalone VoluMill NEXION system, contains several new features as well as improvements to existing functionality.
"With VoluMill 5.6, users now can use pre-drilled holes to facilitate entry into material, further reducing cycle time and extending tool life," said Joe McChesney, Celeritive's Product Manager. "They can choose to have VoluMill determine optimal locations for drilling or select the locations themselves. We have also added additional control over feedrates, repositioning and other tool motion to help machinists tune VoluMill to their particular hardware."
VoluMill 5.6 also contains several enhancements for individual CAM systems, such as complete support for in-process workpiece machining in VoluMill for Siemens NX, and 5-axis simultaneous rough milling with curved floor support in VoluMill NEXION. The release also includes several improvements in toolpath generation, processing time and robustness.
VoluMill's patented technology is designed to generate toolpaths that produce a consistent material removal rate. Reduced forces on the spindle and cutting tool enable machining hardware to be safely utilized to its full capabilities.
