- Quick to learn, easy to use
An insight into the module
VoluMill is an easy-to-use software solution for high-volume rough milling, completely integrated into NX. The module works with just a single programmed tool path for the whole workpiece. Just a few mouse clicks and decisions are required. Using the predefined parameters, VoluMill automatically finds the most efficient machining cycles for the required workpiece. The module uses an alternative milling technology for the machining process. This is based on the use of the entire cutting length engaged.
A VoluMill tool path is arranged so that during the whole machining process a specific machining volume is not exceeded. The module works with optimised machining methods and an active chip thickness control, together with coordinated cutting parameters, which are patented, tried and tested. Uniform material removal takes place based on the central chip calculation carried out. The tool paths have a much higher proportion of cuts with a constant width than any other tool path technology for rough milling. This enables higher feed and rotation speeds, which leads to higher productivity.
