The module supports alignment of the gear axis during measurement using any of the three CMM axes and traditional touch trigger probes or advanced scanning probes.

Makino, Mastercam, Helical Solutions achieve aggressive material removal rate

CNC Software Inc., Helical Solutions LLC and Makino Inc. — a software developer, cutting tool maker and machine builder, respectively — share the results of their joint R&D project that began with an email introducing a new high-efficiency six-flute endmill with a chipbreaker. This report, which demonstrates how a 40in3 material removal rate was achieved, is a video supplement to the Get With The Program column in the August 2021 issue of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine.
