Turning spinning-tool ups productivity by 500%
Turning spinning-tool technology is designed to distribute heat and wear more effectively than a single-point lathe tool, can increase productivity by up to 500% and tool life by up to 2,000%.
With 20 different milling strategies, ESPRIT Mold automatically manages the in-process stock model, allowing the user to combine milling strategies from 2.1/2-axis to 5-axis for optimised tool paths.
ESPRIT Mold 3+2 Machining optimises machining for improved surface finish utilizing A- and B-axis to incline the cutting tools.
The use of shorter, more rigid cutting tools and direct machining of undercut areas is therefore possible.
With complete security, all rapid movements between machining zones, even with different index angles, are automatically generated collision free with respect to the in-process stock.
* ESPRIT Mold 5-axis machining - ESPRIT Mold offers the benefit of automatic continuous 5-axis machining to maximise part quality and cutting speeds while reducing cycle times.
ESPRIT Mold's automatic 5-axis takes any 3-axis tool path (Z level contour finishing, roughing or re/machining, etc) and automatically converts it into a continuous 5-axis operation.
A rich set of functions allows users to take profit from the latest 4- and 5-axis machine tools, while benefiting from ease of use.
