Toolpath Strategy

millyuGO® includes toolpath strategies that prevent thin wall formation and maintain both tool integrity and material rigidity.
During the connection of adjacent machining areas, the system can automatically generate a controlled trench sized to preserve structural stiffness and reduce unsupported material.
This process results in a single residual wall—approximately twice the tool diameter in length—ensuring stable cutting conditions, improved surface quality, and consistent productivity during High-Efficiency Roughing.

The millyuGO® toolpath is optimised for the whole profile/zone selected.

Trench:

Generates a trench of thickness defined by the Remaining thickness field along the wall. This is especially useful when machining thin walls. The trench ensures rigidity of the wall for proper machining. The cycle creates 2 areas with the wall contour machined in the end with minimal forces.

In some cases, it limits the rapid toolpaths.

Avoid thin sheet:

This parameter computes toolpaths to avoid generation of thin sheets with the stock. A minimum thickness is ensured for rigidity and is machined in a single pass within the toolpath.

Radii on contour:

The parameter defines a radii value to be considered during toolpath computation for contours. This allows mitigation of sharp corners.

The first field defines the contour radius in the toolpath. The second field is the ratio of the contour radius to the selected tool radius.

Feedrate adjustment:

If set to Yes, the feedrate is adjusted in real time to compensate for the varying load on the tool during machining. This is to ensure that the load sustained by the tool is almost constant at all times to minimize tool wear.
