High-efficiency roughing often puts speed at the top of the priority list. But with traditional CNC programming, high-speed cutter paths can generate high levels of variability that not only wear down your cutting tool but also force the programmer to plan for worst-case parameters.
Traditional roughing passes use a series of offset radial passes, causing increased cutter engagement of the tool at every internal corner. This leads to spikes in cutter forces and vibration increases, when the tool is most prone to breakage.
Enter Adaptive Clearing, a process that uses constant cutter load throughout the entire roughing operation, utilizing constant cuts and eliminating spikes in the cutter force…READ MORE.
