Products 68 MoldMaking Technology —— SEPTEMBER 2017 ★ Leader, Core & Return Pins ★ Guide Posts ★ Standard, Nitrided, Hardened Shouldered & Regular Ejector Pins ★ Die/Compression Springs: Medium, Heavy & Extra Heavy Load On Display at EMO — September 18-23, Hannover, Germany — emo-hannover.de/home End Mills Designed for Titanium, Stainless Steel, Nickel-Based Alloys YG-1 will showcase its TitanoxPower end mills for titanium, stain- less steel and nickel-based alloys. They are available in a variety of corner radii and flute options, and the true double-core design is said to provide optimal performance while roughing, semi- finishing and finishing. The roughing tooth pattern is said to enable maximum material removal rate while slotting, pocketing and profiling. The smooth variable helix and pitch are designed to quiet tough material while semi-finishing and finishing. YG-1 Tool Co. / yg1usa.com / Booth E03 CAM Software Provides Strategies for Roughing, Finishing, Drilling Open Mind Technologies will present HyperMill Maxx Machining and other new CAM software solutions. Maxx Machining provides strategies for roughing, finishing and drilling, covering machining functions including 2.5D through five-axis milling and drilling, mill-turn, and specialty applica- tions. Based on the Volumill toolkit, the roughing function has been applied to 2.5D pocketing, 3D roughing and five-axis roughing, and is said to be suited for engine casings and radial components such as the tire molds. The drilling function enables five-axis helical motion to open pockets, with chip removal using standard end mills. The finishing function applies conical barrel cutters to large planar, ruled or general surfaces. The large radius on conical barrel tools allow significantly wider step-over, while the tool's coni- cal surface enables short cutters to be used. In addition, holders are assured with a collision detection process. The system also enables the user to control the contact point to increase cutter life or to help reach in specific areas. The company will also debut a virtual machining center solution that uses NC code after the postprocessor run as a basis for the simulation, ensuring that virtual machine movements correspond precisely to real machine move- ment, and display its HyperMill 2018.1 software release. Open Mind Technologies USA Inc. / openmind-tech.com / Booth A08 Flexible Gage Software Integrates with CNC Machine Tools Renishaw will exhibit its software for the Equator flexible gage, which allows users to fully integrate the system with CNC machine tools, its contact scan- ning system for CNC machine tools, its on-machine and mobile apps which are designed to simplify the use of machine tool probing, an enhanced non-contact tool setter for machining centers, a multi-probe optical interface system, a surface finish probe for coordinate measuring machines, and software that enhances the functionality of Renishaw's XM-60 multi-axis calibration system. The company will also show its machining cell concept, which has the ability to monitor key process inputs and analyze data can improve manufacturing processes and facilitate increased productivity and higher accuracy. In addi- tion, Renishaw will have a booth in the Additive Manufacturing Zone at hall 27, stand A72, where it will demonstrate its build file preparation software, QuantAM 2017, which was designed for Renishaw's metal AM systems, RenAM 500M and AM 400. Renishaw Inc. / renishaw.com / Booth B46 Machines Grind Super Hard Materials Agathon will introduce a line of machines designed for super hard materials, including PCD. The machines are designed to provide flexibility, higher productiv- ity, and time and cost savings in small- and medium-batch precision manufactur- ing. The company will also showcase its AGC+5 control software for its indexable insert grinding machines, which provides users with an adaptive grinding pro- cess. This process is designed for rapid optimization of grinding operations while improving the production of already defined and optimized parts. Agathon Machine Tools Inc. / agathon.ch / Booth C62
