SURFCAM TrueMill

What is Truemill?

Solves the fundamental milling problem that has existed since the first crank handle was turned on the first milling machine. Enables CNC milling machines, for the first time, to do what they have always been capable of. Not based on adjustments to or optimizations of existing tool path algorithms. Dynamically manages tool engagement and feed rates, resulting in dramatically increased material removal rates.

What are the TrueMill Benefits?

Faster Material Removal Rates
Easier on CNC & Fixture
Longer Cutter Life

How is this possible?

Tool Engagement Angle Management
Feedrate Mods Based on C/L to ToolRad Ratio
High Feedrate Helical Repositioning

Problems TrueMill Solves

No limits on stepover size
Up to 100% of the diameter of the tool without adding extra corner motion
No feed rate optimizers needed
No need to detect areas where excess material is encountered
Excess material is never encountered, anywhere
Maintains the programmed feed rate as the effective feed rate, everywhere, always
Operators no longer need to man the feed override control
No need to “slow things down” to run unattended ¡No more dwell marks on floors
Smooth, tangent-continuous motion means the machine never

TrueMill Really Solves

The problem no one knew they had
Tool paths are no longer the limiting factor in your machine tool’s performance
Enables CNC machine tools to do what they have always been capable of doing, rather than just accurately replicating manual machining methods
