Sescoi Offers Formtec NCspeed
 MACON,
France, July 7, 2008 - Sescoi is bringing its latest technology to the USA
market to further reduce machining times for complex parts, molds and dies.
Its CAM/CAD software, WorkNC G3, already automatically generates optimized
roughing and finishing toolpaths for 2 to through to 5-axis machining
applications. Now, the new NCspeed module, developed by Formtec and fully
integrated into WorkNC, can produce additional cycle time reductions of up
to 20% using its proven technology.
Optimization with NCspeed
Unlike other CNC feedrate optimizers that simply look at the programmed
points of the CNC file and search for direction changes, NCspeed uses a
computer generated stock model that is updated dynamically and continuously.
This more advanced method allows the NCspeed module to calculate the load
and thus forces generated on the cutting tool. NCspeed will then adjust the
feedrates up during conditions of a light cutter load. Conversely, for
cutter safety, NCspeed can lower feedrates where appropriate, such as during
areas of high cutter loads.
Furthermore, by keeping tool loads as constant as possible, NCspeed will
help engineers to achieve the best possible cutting conditions across the
whole job, which will have a positive impact on accuracy and the quality of
the surface finish. In particular, the performance of small diameter and
long cutters will benefit from optimization with NCspeed. By avoiding
excessive load conditions and endeavoring to keep the volume of material
being cut the same at all times, cutter deflection will be minimized, tool
life increased, excessive vibration and chatter eliminated and cutter
breakage avoided.
The software also checks for tool engagement with the material,
maximizing movements at rapid feed where the cutter is out of the material,
and shortening the overall length of rapid toolpaths where it is safe to do
so.
NCspeed is most effective when machining hard or tough materials,
however, even free cutting materials can show significant savings in tooling
costs and cycle times, making it a worthwhile investment for every machine
shop.
Jeff Jaje of Sescoi Inc said, “We are always trying to help our customers
to improve the productivity they get from using WorkNC. The new NCspeed
module is a powerful addition which will enable American engineers to make
major reductions in manufacturing costs through faster machining and longer
tool life.”
