Fast and smart: For consummate control over the productivity generated by high speed machining centres, 'smart machining' holds the answer

摘要

ONE step on the road to increased productivity is to go faster. In simple terms, high speed machining brings higher output through reduced cycle times. However, with the extra speed and the enhanced flexibility offered by high specification machining centres, also comes greater opportunity for mistakes. If something goes wrong at speeds in excess of 25,000 revs/min, it can be very costly, HSM introduces unexpected factors such as centrifugal force, imbalance, vibration and thermal expansion, which all inflict detrimental effects upon the machining process.
