High Speed Milling (HSM) / High Speed Cutting (HSC)

The typical application of this technology is the machining of complex three-dimensional surfaces. As the specific parameter of the process may be considered the workpiece surface machined per unit of time (cm2/min). NC programmes provide the geometric information either in form of coordinates or vectors. The data amount to be processed by the machine control is a function of distance between the coordinates and the programmed machining feed. Increasing machining feed demands improved calculation speed and intelligence of the control. High speed spindles are required to match the process. Mainly used cutting tools are ball nose end mills, flat end mills and toric end mills from solid carbide.
