millyuGO^®

What is millyuGO®? millyuGO® is an adaptive roughing toolpath technology designed to address specific challenges faced during high material removal rate (MRR) productions. It calculates and optimizes the entire toolpath, from the initial roughing cycle to the finishing stage. The primary goal is to achieve constant tool engagement throughout the roughing process.

Key Features and Benefits

1. Controlled Force Exertion on the Tool

• millyuGO^® ensures that the force exerted on the cutting tool remains within safe limits.

• By controlling the force, it prevents excessive wear and damage to the tool.

2. Optimal Cutting Conditions

• Tools always cut within their optimal and designed conditions, the velocity is kept.

• This leads to improved machining efficiency and precision.

3. Ideal for Hard Materials

• millyuGO^® is particularly effective for machining hard materials such as Titanium, Inconel, and stainless steel.

   Extended Tool Life

• With millyuGO^®, tool life can be extended by up to six times compared to traditional roughing methods.

4. Reduced Machining Time

• The technology significantly reduces machining time, often by up to 80%.

5.   Lower Production Costs:

• By optimizing toolpaths and minimizing waste, millyuGO^® contributes to a 50% reduction in production costs.

Real-World Applications

Aerospace and automotive industries benefit from millyuGO^® due to its efficiency in handling challenging materials and complex geometries.

In summary, millyuGO^® revolutionizes machining processes by combining precision, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Whether you're working with tough alloys or intricate components, this technology can make a significant impact in your machine shop.

Customer case
	Test run by MAPAL(German tool manufacturer), Using a Ø 12 mm 5 teeth tool, Grob CNC machine and Material: Titanium TA6V.		Adaptative Milling Competitor #1: 21 min Adaptative Milling Competitor #2: 20 min millyuGO® Go2cam: 16 min
	millyuGO® includes a new strategy to avoid the ‘thin sheets’ and preserve tool and material. To avoid thin walls appearance while joining different areas in the cycle, millyuGO® “digs a trench” which is narrow enough to preserve material rigidity. This trench enables to reduce thin walls to an only remaining one, measuring approximately 2 x tool diameter in its length. The safety and quality surface are improved while the rest of the High Efficiency Roughing keeps working to reach a high level of productivity.

PAM (Powerful Anticipative Machining)

PAM (Powerful Anticipative Machining) is a revolutionary roughing cycles that optimizes finishing cycles by generating adaptative and trochoidal toolpaths enabling constant tool engagement during the whole machining process.

Comparison to traditional Roughing

1. Constant Tool Engagement

    PAM optimizes the finishing cycle by leaving a variable allowance during roughing. This allows for constant tool engagement throughout the entire finishing process.

• As a result, the effort on the tool and spindle remains consistent, leading to improved machining stability.

2. Vibration Elimination

• By maintaining constant tool engagement, PAM effectively eliminates vibrations during machining.

• Reduced vibrations contribute to better surface quality and prevent tool wear.

3. Larger Z Step Values

• PAM enables the use of larger Z step values (vertical increments) during machining.

• This can lead to faster material removal rates and shorter overall machining time.

Benefits

• Increased Tool and Spindle Life: The consistent tool engagement minimizes wear and extends the lifespan of cutting tools and spindles.

• Shorter Machining Time: PAM's efficient approach reduces the time required for finishing operations.

• Improved Surface Quality: The elimination of vibrations results in smoother and more precise surfaces.

Overall, PAM offers a promising solution for enhancing machining processes, benefiting both productivity and quality.
