Cycle time adds up quickly when machining impellers and blisks. Excessive passes, air cutting, and conservative feed rates can make it difficult to meet cycle time and profitability goals while maintaining strict quality requirements.
This webinar explores features in MAX-PAC™ designed to reduce unnecessary machining time without compromising surface quality or process reliability. Through real toolpath examples, we’ll demonstrate how these features can be applied across roughing and finishing workflows and how to evaluate their impact on cycle time.
What you’ll learn
- How to improve roughing efficiency through plunge milling, U-Pass, and reducing air cuts between depths
- Techniques for reducing finishing passes using barrel tools and hub finish pass interlacing
- Strategies for optimizing feed rates and reducing unnecessary transitions
- Methods for estimating cycle time to evaluate the impact of machining improvements
Who should attend
- CNC programmers
- Manufacturing engineers
- Machinists
