Quality software Sandvik Coromant OptiThreading™

controlcuttingmachine

GibbsCAM’s new turning strategy for OptiThreading™ enables controlled chip breaking to eliminate long stringy chips that can damage a component’s surface and interfere with the cutting zone. It is just as suitable for simple threads as it is for cutting complex thread profiles, in high-strength alloys or exotic materials. Using cutting data from CoroPlus® Tool Library, OptiThreading™ enables users to develop optimized thread turning tool paths that specifically overcome the challenge of chip control with these operations. This is achieved by specialized GibbsCAM tool paths that use controlled, oscillating movements in and out of the cut for interrupted cuts on all passes except the last one. The result is controlled chip control for improved component quality, faster cutting speeds and less manual work by reducing the need to manually clear long chips during the machine run cycle.
