CAM software developer Delcam, cutting tool manufacturer SGS, and machine tool supplier DMG Mori will present two joint seminars on high-efficiency machining at SGS’s recently-opened UK headquarters in Wokingham, near Reading, on Wednesday 2nd July. Morning and afternoon sessions will be presented during which the three companies will describe their latest developments to increase machine-tool productivity. Each set of presentations will followed by live demonstrations of Delcam’s award-winning Vortex high-efficiency area-clearance strategy on DMG Mori machine tools using SGS cutter.
The Vortex strategy, which was recently announced to be the Best CADCAM or Control System at the MWP Awards, offers substantial time savings by allowing deeper cuts to be made using the full flute length of solid carbide tools as the cutting surface. A series of trials run by Delcam, on different machine tools within its Advanced Manufacturing Facility fitted with SGS tooling, has shown that time savings of up to 70% are possible with the new strategy.
Unlike other high-speed roughing techniques that aim to maintain a constant theoretical metal-removal rate, the Vortex strategy produces toolpaths with a controlled engagement angle for the complete operation. This maintains the optimum cutting conditions for the entire toolpath that would normally be possible only for the straight-line moves. As a result, the cutting time will be significantly shorter, while cutting will be undertaken at a more consistent volume-removal rate and feed rate, so protecting the cutter and the machine.
Because Vortex toolpaths have a controlled engagement angle, tools should never be overloaded and so will achieve the maximum tool life. Shock loading caused by changes in the contact angle is minimised, preventing chipping of the flutes. In addition, the stability of the cutting conditions gives more consistent edge temperatures, so prolonging the life of the tool coating and removing heat damage to the surface of the part. Finally, the ability to use stepdowns of three, or even more, times the tool diameter spreads the tool wear evenly over the cutting surface of the tool, again contributing to longer tool life.
Brand names such as Z-Carb, S-Carb, V-Carb, Multi-Carb have made SGS synonymous with high performance tooling in the machining and metalworking industry. The company is a leading manufacturer of solid carbide tools for a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, medical, mould and die, and power generation. Many SGS tools are designed specifically to achieve the highest possible metal removal rates so they allow users to gain the maximum benefit from the Vortex strategy.
DMG Mori is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of machine tools, with a long history of technical development. As well as leading the way with its own innovations, the company ceaselessly pursues the best technology from its collaborators to provide extra value for its customers by unlocking the full potential of their machine tools.

hello!,I like your writing so much! share we communicate more about your post on AOL? I require an expert on this area to solve my problem. Maybe that’s you! Looking forward to see you.
Thanks for enabling me to get new concepts about personal computers. I also contain the belief that certain of the best ways to help keep your notebook in prime condition is with a hard plastic-type case, and also shell, that matches over the top of your computer. A lot of these protective gear are model specific since they are manufactured to fit perfectly above the natural outer shell. You can buy all of them directly from the seller, or from third party sources if they are designed for your notebook computer, however not every laptop may have a spend on the market. Once more, thanks for your guidelines.
Howdy! This post could not be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my previous room mate! He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this article to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!
Nice blog here! Also your website loads up fast! What host are you using? Can I get your affiliate link to your host? I wish my web site loaded up as quickly as yours lol
Just want to say your article is as astonishing. The clarity in your post is simply cool and i can assume you’re an expert on this subject. Well with your permission allow me to grab your RSS feed to keep up to date with forthcoming post. Thanks a million and please continue the enjoyable work.
Howdy! Do you know if they make any plugins to assist with Search Engine Optimization? I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good results. If you know of any please share. Cheers!
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100 certain. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks
Keep functioning ,remarkable job!
Thanks for the a new challenge you have exposed in your text. One thing I would like to touch upon is that FSBO connections are built after a while. By introducing yourself to the owners the first saturday and sunday their FSBO is usually announced, prior to a masses start out calling on Friday, you produce a good link. By mailing them equipment, educational materials, free accounts, and forms, you become a great ally. If you take a personal fascination with them as well as their scenario, you produce a solid connection that, in many cases, pays off if the owners decide to go with a real estate agent they know along with trust — preferably you.
I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your site. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Outstanding work!
