The First Years of OPEN MIND

Background of Founders Grundig/Philips Cooperation (DECKEL Dialog 4/11) First PC based shop floor NC programming system Partner of DASA (Daimler-Benz Aerospace) for the development of

the UNIX based NC controller MK21

1994 Foundation of OPEN MIND Software Technologies GmbH

1995 OPEN MIND was chosen as global CAM partner by Autodesk and

Hewlett Packard and was winning the award “Autodesk Developer of the Year”

1997 Siemens (D), Hitachi Zosen Systems (J), Tecnomatix (USA) licensed

and integrated OPEN MIND software


The Road to Success

1998 DaimlerChrysler chooses OPEN MIND as strategic partner for 5Axis CAM solutions

1999 OPEN MIND patents its method for the 5Axis simultaneous machining of cavities

Application Areas

Injection molds, forging and die casting industry Single part production High demands on surface quality, accuracy, efficiency, flexibility

Structural parts for aerospace industries Special materials, high amount of material removal, special milling

strategies

Sheet metal parts, model making More sophisticated design, shorter life cycle time, higher quality demands

Turbo machinery High sophisticated parts, undercuts, complex collision situation

Cubical and production parts Rapid programming of drilling as well as 2D operations with several fixed

inclinations ... Mid and large scale production


hyperMILL for SolidWorks Overview

5 Axis Simultaneous to 2,5D in one system

Feature recognition

Milling and millTURN in one user interface

Own postprocessor technology


2,5D Feature Machining


The hyperMILL Browser opens within SolidWorks with

one click.


Feature mapping recognizes all holes

including threads, open and closed pockets


All CAM- Features are recognized and are

clearly displayed


hyperMILL opens the Technology Database and applies stored process

data to the Features


Joblists are created automatically when applying the Technology

macros to the geometry features


Then the toolpaths are calculated for the automatically created jobs.


After toolpath calculation, the internal simulation including holder is available


One click and the NC-file will be created


After generating the NC file can be opened


The job-list can contain a mix of milling, drilling, and turning jobs. One postprocessor

can be applied to these mixed job types.

millTURN


The stock model will be generated automatically as box or cylinder

3D-5axis Simultaneous Machining


The tool plunges outside the stock model using the roughing strategy “optimized in”

The necessary tool length will be calculated.

Toolpath fillets generate smooth motion for HSC technology


After the first roughing operation the stock model will be updated


A Rest material roughing job is created by copying the first job, changing the tool and

the reference stock model


Z-level finishing strategy with spiral step down


5x Rest Machining strategy will be defined with a desired tilt angle. If a

holder collision is detected, hyperMILL changies the tilt angle

automatically to avoid the collision


The desired tilt angle will be constant as long as possible


Changing the inclination of the C-axis will be calculated automatically
