Next Generation Optimization

In this age optimization is taking on a new form. From adaptive clearing and dynamic milling, to Ultrasonic assisted machining. Being able to dynamically shift spindle speed based on the feed back monitor built into to the spindle, you can use macros to target specific chatter rates and load rates, to maintain a cleaner surface finish, counteract chatter, and extend tool life. On machines such as HAAS VF2's, they come with SSV (spindle speed variation) now if you integrate a macro to monitor spindle load and set it to a max of 10% when the threshold is hit the spindle will automatically adjust speed and feed to maintain 9% or lower with out dwelling or stopping the tool path. This is typically a Lathe motion but integrating a G96 we can turn this lathe motion for superior finishing and tool life extension into a milling motion garnering the same result and can be even more effective by adding in look ahead control this becomes a superior cylindrical finishing technique. Here at Summit Optimizations we use a plethora of approaches to tailor your whole experience to your business giving you the best service guaranteed.

Now how can we change this cylindrical motion into straight line milling? Well by using G90 and writing out your X,Y,Z coordinates we can plug in a M38 which allows for rpm oscillation. This technique does not allow the spindle and work piece to sync their chatter creating a smoother finish while still dynamically controlling speed and load limit and never allowing a dwell phase keeping your production times up. This is one example of how we can help you and were looking forward to hearing from shops of all sizes.
