MASTER THE POWER OF

Digital Twin
Realistic simulation for reliable production
processes

The Digital Twin is an accurate digital model of your machinefor use on the programming station, allowing you toleverage the machine’s actual kinematics, parameters andfunctions during front-office design and programming work.
You gain peace of mind from knowing that programmingstation and CAM-generated programs will run seamlessly
in real life.

Fast and reliable production Check and optimize tool paths
 Prevent program interruptions
 Avoid collisions
 Make full use of the work envelope Test complex 5-axis movements
 Check and optimize the clamping position

MASTER THE POWER OF

DCM
Dynamic Collision Monitoring
Five-axis machining motion is so complex that it’s difficult to conceptualize. To minimize therisk of machine damage and operator injury, Dynamic Collision Monitoring (DCM) monitors
the work envelope for possible collisions between the tool, workholding and machineelements. In Test Run mode, you can even detect collisions before running the program,
thereby avoiding program interruptions and reclamping.

Maximum protection for your machine
Detailed rendering of machine components
 Reliable tool-distancing retraction
 Visualization and additional dialog texts
 Monitoring of tool, tool-carrier kinematics andworkholding Optimum use of the work envelope

MASTER THE POWER OF

KinematicsOpt
Increase 5-axis accuracy
with this automatic cycle
The KinematicsOpt function lets you check the accuracyof rotary or swivel axes and compensate for any offset intheir center of rotation. Offsets are automatically sent tothe kinematic model, where they are taken into account.

Manufacture with reproducible accuracy
Easy recalibration for long-term accuracy
 Data backup for changes in the kinematic model Easy recovery of previously determined configurations
 Measurement log for rigorous documentation

MASTER THE POWER OF

OCM
Achieve high-efficiency machining
with low tool wear
The Optimized Contour Milling cycles enable high-efficiency, tool-friendly roughing
and finishing for pockets and islands of any shape. The control automaticallycalculates the complex trochoidal milling motion required, and aconvenient built-in cutting data calculator determines theoptimal cutting values.

Feed rate

OCM is an effective, reliable andconvenient way to improve yourthroughput: Consistent cutting conditions
 Higher cutting parameters
 Superior chip removal
 Reduced tool heating
 Considerable reduction in tool wear More chips in less time

MASTER THE POWER OF

5-axis machining
Powerful functions for demanding tasks
During 5-axis machining, linear axes often execute highly dynamic compensating movements.
The resulting high feed rates and accelerations may lead to vibrations or other sources oferror. The powerful motion control of the TNC optimizes these movements for all axes,
finding the best-possible solution for vibration dampening and dynamic cutting performance.
By ensuring smooth and accurate rotary axis motion, the TNC delivers optimal surface
quality even during rapid changes in direction between the tool and workpiece.

Functions for achieving accurate tool motion andmaximum dynamic performance Dynamic Precision: optimize accuracy during
dynamic axis motion
 TCPM: practical settings for your individualworkpiece and machining requirements
 Cycle 32: perfect surfaces, short machining times
and high tolerances

Cycle 444
Automatable quality
assurance on themachine

Cycle 444 lets you evaluate measuring points on
3D geometries for quality assurance. Simply enter
the given measuring point with its coordinates and thenormal vector. The TNC then automatically initiates probing
and determines whether the desired point is within a given
tolerance.
