Toolpath Software integrates pre-drilled hole support.
Press Release Summary:
Integrated within CAM systems or available as standalone system, VoluMill v5.6 generates toolpaths that produce consistent material removal rate. Users can use pre-drilled holes to facilitate entry into material as well as opt to have solution determine optimal locations for drilling or select locations themselves. Control over feedrates, repositioning, and other tool motion enables tuning to specific hardware, and 5-axis simultaneous rough milling with curved floor support is included.
Original Press Release:
Celeritive Technologies Releases VoluMill(TM) Version 5.6 with New Features Including Pre-Drilled Hole Support
MOORPARK, CA — Celeritive Technologies, Inc., developers of VoluMill™ Ultra High Performance Toolpath Technology, announced today the release of 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.
“We are particularly excited about the new capabilities of VoluMill 5.6,” said Joe McChesney, Celeritive’s product manager. “Users now can use pre-drilled holes to facilitate entry into material, further reducing cycle time and extending tool life. 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 that reinforce VoluMill as the de facto standard in bulk material removal technology.
VoluMill has consistently shown itself to be the easiest, quickest and most cost effective way for manufacturers to reduce costs, shorten delivery times and increase productivity. Adopted by large and small organizations around the world and across all industries, VoluMill’s patented technology generates toolpaths that produce a consistent material removal rate. Their smooth, flowing motion establishes and maintains ideal milling conditions in any part shape. Reduced forces on the spindle and cutting tool enable machining hardware to be safely utilized to its full capabilities. Uniform chip formation and excellent heat dissipation result in the previously unachievable combination of dramatically reduced cycle times and significantly extended cutting-tool life.
