High-speed machining with ESPRIT’s patented ProfitMilling® cycles for 2.5-, 3-, 4-, and 5-axis roughing significantly reduces cycle times and dramatically increases tool life. The ProfitMilling strategy combines optimized, high-speed toolpath patterns, chip thinning with light radial engagements and full depths of cut, and dynamically optimized feed rates to maintain consistent chip loads and minimized cutting forces throughout the cut. This results in increased productivity and reduced operating costs. When compared to conventional machining, ProfitMilling delivers:
75% cycle-time reduction
500% increase in tool life
ProfitMilling Benefits
ProfitMilling is a universal high-speed roughing cycle for 2- to 5-axis milling that requires no extra investments in specialized cutting tools, workholding, spindles, or machines. This cycle is designed to reduce loads on CNC machines, drives, and spindles, therefore it can even be used on light-duty machines. ProfitMilling is proven to work exceptionally well on most materials, with added value in Inconel, titanium, and others where the chip is hard to break. The combination of optimized toolpaths cutting at full depth with reduced radial engagement results in improved cutting performance and shorter cycle times. These techniques also transfer more heat to the chip instead of the tool and the workpiece, reducing the temperature at the cutting zone and extending tool life.
