EMUGE-FRANKEN USA, GROB Systems and OPEN MIND Technologies to hold mold & die workshop

EMUGE-FRANKEN USA, GROB Systems Inc., and OPEN MIND Technologies announced the companies are jointly holding a complimentary mold & die workshop on July 20th, 2022 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. ET at the EMUGE Technology Center in West Boylston, MA. The workshop covers via live machining demonstrations how to optimize mold and die accuracy by combining advanced tooling, machining, and CAM technologies. Attendees will learn how OPEN MIND’s hyperMILL® CAM software machining strategies maximize programming for EMUGE-FRANKEN tooling on a GROB G550a 5-Axis CNC machining center. Manufacturing professionals are encouraged to attend by registering.

Key workshop topics and demonstrations include:

• Achieving high quality surface finishes with hyperMILL’s high precision surface mode by machining directly to the surface instead of an approximated mesh and applying the CAM software’s smooth overlap capability which minimizes witness marks at the blending of adjoining part features
• Using the GROB G550a 5-Axis capabilities to orient and maintain the EMUGE-FRANKEN Multi-Cut Duplex End Mill in the cut, while extending tool life
• Maximizing machining process efficiency with hyperMILL’s auto-indexing function to automatically generate multiple 3+2 segments as an alternative to 5-Axis
• How to use shorter, smaller diameter tools for more aggressive machining by combining GROB’s rigid cross slide design and long Z-Axis stroke with hyperMILL’s 5-Axis rest machining strategy and EMUGE’s rigid FPC toolholder
• Optimizing workflow within multiple application stages with process probing strategies
