Software for Machining Complex 3-D Parts

Makino has introduced SGI.5, its latest version of Super Geometric Intelligence software for high-feedrate, tight-tolerance machining of complex three-dimensional contoured shapes.

"SGI.5 is the next-generation Makino advancement, culminating a decade of high-speed, high-accuracy motion control in complex 3-D contouring applications," said Bill Howard, Vertical Machining Product Manager at Makino. "Continuous product development and technology innovations and advancements in Makino proprietary software and motion control/servo technology have altered the traditional speeds and feeds typically used to manufacture these types of parts."

The technology facilitates enhanced levels of accuracy and reductions in cycle time. "Depending upon the specific geometry of the application, SGI.5 can provide 20 - 60% faster cycle times while maintaining accuracy and surface finishes," said a company spokesperson.

SGI.5 combines the rigidity of the machine structure, the kinematics of the machine drive systems and the latest advancements in servo drive technologies with Makino's proprietary software. The result is increased speed, high feeds and tight accuracies when executing NC programs with micro-blocks whose traverse movement value is 1 mm or less. This is characteristic of the complex 3-D free, curved surface shapes found in the die/mold, medical, aerospace and other high-performance milling applications.
