GARANT TPC - Trochoidal Performance Cutting 

there is an ISO standard, but I'm pretty sure no one uses it cause they didn't learn it that way

eh...I really hope that feed of .5ipt was actually .5mm pt.

At Protyp a saw a full slot, 16mm cutter with 32mm cutting length. (25mm width 50mm length) Very simple parameter to produce a slot. Put in parameter for one cut. then repet it. Very simple. There also showed a ramping processs to deep 30mm. After that there increased the diameter form 25mm to 50mm. With very simple parameter. It is possible, but there is better today.

Yeah Walter is having several solutions, but Hoffman is Superior in Rotating Tools, I saw in India.

most modern cam software can do this.

Guy Good As well as massively boosted productivity due to less time spent changing tools and higher material removal rate, as well as lower cutting temperatures and thus less need for cooling. Overall, the benefits outweigh the cost of more frequent machine servicing or replacement outside of highly specialized applications.

+Guy Good And don't forget. Less cutting forces and vibration. Vibration is the number 1 killer of ballscrews...

+Kostas Froudarakis Thats why you should not use Weldon or Shrinkchucks. Just Collet Chucks - no vibration with the CENTRO|P from FAHRION

pfft...My Rohm hydraulic tool holders > those.

In my experience the tools actually hold up MUCH better because the majority of the cutting pressure isn't on the corners and the machine actually vibrates less with this style cutting

Hi, it´s the feed rate per tooth (tooth feed)

thanks can you tell me how to calculate RPM and feed to high speed toolpaths? What variables do i need to consider?

@@josedejesusmaciel2925 I know this is an old question, but I really enjoy this software, and it's relatively cheap... hsmadvisor.com

Yeah, on smaller parts it's kind of dumb to use HSM methods as the feeds required to load up the tool properly make the table go nuts.

better for tool life. worse for machine life.

In a professional setting 10 grand is nothing over a two year period. Running just a few percent faster would make up for it. Speed is king.

Completely agree, sorry forgot to mention that they use it on aluminium and plastics, by switching back to the traditional methods I eliminated the spindle wear problem and even reduced their cycle times sometimes by up to 50%. i've recently moved onto titanium and similar materials and the HSM toolpath is definitely the way forward

In soft materials the only advantage is in deep slots, helps with chip evacuation.
