Milling Machines - High Speed
High speed machining is a quantifiable condition characterized by low cutting forces and high metal removal. Current high speed machining parameters are in excess of:
- Acceleration rate >2M/sec2(.2G)
- Cutting speed >1500M/min (steel)
High speed milling machines working on 3-D surfaces in mold or die steel (or any other material) routinely produce a finer surface finish and higher accuracy in less time than conventional milling machines. The most critical factor affecting high speed machining is acceleration. Since one or more axis are always increasing or decreasing velocity in a 3-D cut, ultimate feedrate is directly related to acceleration.
A milling machine with higher structural stiffness has a greater potential acceleration rate. Currently, box shaped machine structures; e.g., Bridge, Gantry, are the most widely employed types of high speed mills. An overhead Gantry style exhibits the highest stiffness, acceleration and accuracy. Due to its scalability, this machine type is available in sizes to match the workpiece, from small to large.
