The TurboCut System is an external add-on for NC and CNC machines which provides significant increases in machine productivity. Omtronix Real Time Optimization improves cutting speed while precisely controlling the accuracy of axial positioning. The system utilizes a look ahead of up to 64, 000 points to strategically accelerate and decelerate the machine in order to take maximum advantage of its capabilities.
TurboCut Benefits:
- Significantly increased cutting speeds
- Improved positional accuracy
- Smoother blending of contours
- Quick and simple recovery from unscheduled program or machine stoppages
- Significantly extended machine and tool life
- Returns control of the machining process to the shop floor
- Improved accuracy greatly reduces the amount of finishing time after machining
- System throughput improvements of up to 1000%. Finished component material, size and shape of determine the degree of improvement.
