FAQ
What are the benefits on offer ?
Optimizing your toolpaths with Productive Machines can lead to
- Time, material and money all saved by reducing trial and error on your machine tool
- Lower production cycle times and increased productivity
- Extended tool life
- Improved surface quality
- Improved dimensional quality
- Reduced need for post-manufacture inspections
How does Productive Machines compare to other solutions ?
- Our unique stability map is able to identify and eliminate chatter vibrations on the whole toolpath before they cause any issues
- Intuitive Software as a Service (SaaS), no need to train your engineers to use complex software;
- Simple subscription service, no need for large capital investment
What problems does chatter cause ?
- Lower surface finish and dimensional accuracy
- Increased tool wear and cutting tool costs
- Increased maintenance costs on machine tool
- Increased noise level coming from the process
- Increased waste of material
How can we identify if we have chatter vibrations?
- Aside from chatter marks in your workpiece and low tool life you may also notice increased noise levels during a process with chatter
- Machine tends to vibrate close to its natural frequencies in addition to the frequency of chip removal
What CAM programs can you work with?
- Currently our solutions works best with Siemens NX but we are developing APIs to help us work better with other CAM programs
- Some of our web apps don’t require a toolpath to optimize
