High Frequency Turning Software Technology for Controlling Chip Breakage
January 1, 2019
Star CNC Machine Tool Corp. has introduced its latest software technology: High Frequency Turning (HFT). This technology is an addition to assist with chip control where chip breaking is difficult, including materials such as stainless steel, aluminum and synthetic polymers. The software enables intermittent cutting on any linear axis, which will disperse "stringy" chips into more workable, smaller chips.
The flexible HFT can be used on any linear axis, used for profile turning (with tool nose radius compensation) and can be added to any program, with two additional lines of code. HFT can also be used in conjunction with FANUC's canned cycles and can be retrofitted (machine model and CNC-control dependent).
Other benefits include:
- Increased productivity with less operator intervention
- Extended tool life
- Lower machining temperatures
- Reduced risk of built-up edge.
