Open Mind & WNT announce 5-axis event at AMRC

From 26-27 September 2017, the two AMRC Tier 1 members will provide a masterclass on how to maximise productivity through 5-axis CAM strategies that can be optimised through the latest cutting tool innovations.

The collaboration between Open Mind and WNT will introduce manufacturers to new methodologies and strategies that will show how the synergy between CAM software and cutting tools can generate cycle time improvements, increased material removal rates and tool life savings beyond 90%.

All this can be achieved while reducing the load on the machine spindle and improving surface finishes considerably. The technical seminars from both Open Mind and WNT will demonstrate how such significant improvements can be obtained. Following the theoretical seminar program, a Hermle C52 5-axis machining centre tooled by WNT and programmed with hyperMILL will deliver practical examples.

As well as approaches to 5-axis machining strategies being on show, the Rotherham event will provide an opportunity for manufacturers to discover the latest innovations in Open Mind’s 2018.1 Version of hyperMILL. In parallel to this, WNT will be using the event to give its world premiere to a new tooling line that the company says will set the industry benchmark in HPC 5-axis machining.
