4 General News Helitronic Tool Studio 1.9 now combines all machine types in one version 4

5 Batch Manager/Loader integrated into Tool Studio Graphical Page view Loader Control Page view General Batch Manager Page view Pallet configuration window 5

6 Automated Work-Table (optional) New operation table for travelling add-on parameters Add-on can go with the wheel or stay at fixed position for each operation separately Distance ahead of the wheel Arobotech selfcentering steadyrest Additional reference wizard pages for rotary table add-ons Available travelling addons: automatic steadyrest, Arobotech steadyrest, tail stock Take axis value from control 6

7 New abilities in Tool Wizard Reapply wizard in different languages Ability to re-enter enter the wizard independent from the language the Ident file was created with. Important for international customers. Reapply Wizard for Endmills Reapply wizard for all endmill types provides the following features: End face type conversion For example convert square-end to chamfer tool. Reapply Wizard Production to regrinding conversion for standard tools Necessary probing operations are added automatically. Reapply Wizard 7

8 New Operations Tool Studio now offers 47 operations 6 new operations have been developed for version 1.9. K-Land on Profile Drill Gash Straight Probing Facing IMS Probing Times not representative Wheel Dressing Facing Grind Eccentric Neck 8

9 K-Land on profile Operation K-Land on profile is available in the operation wizard. New K-Land type: Tangential allows you to grind K-Land on ball nose, corner radius and form steps with a tangential intersection to the OD 9

10 Drill gash straight in operation wizard Drill gash straight is available in operation wizard It is independent of a drill point clearance operation and can be linked to the point profile and probing profile operation. (Use Edge Construction "Intersection, Base Operation "Probing Profile Diameter or "Fluting, select drill profile) 10

11 Facing operation Correction of wheel diameter, radius and length in Z. Corrections are applied optional on wheel data. All IDNs using this wheel pack are affected. 11

12 IMS (optional) IMS - Internal Measuring System Allows in process control of diameter, core diameter and rake angle. IMS Report gives feedback about probing results. Measure diameter, core diameter and rake angle on cylindrical i l standard d tools with integrated t probe. Compensates for deviations from nominal values caused by wheel wear and thermal expansion. Define Tolerances and Control Limits 12

13 IMS (optional) IMS Probing for Standard Tools created in 1.9 Add probing operations in Tool Wizard or Operation Wizard. Activating IMS In IMS Summary page, activate IMS and compensation. Measurement frequency Number of measured values needed to calculate an average before performing the compensation Tool diameter, rake angle and core diameter can be compensated 13

14 Dressing (optional) To dress the wheel inside the machine The wheel keeps its original shape Functionality Dressing of all established wheel forms Dressing of all wheels that are used in the currently loaded IDN Dressing cycle can be added as often as you like to any position between grinding operations Grinding wheel can be split up in dressing segments that can be parameterized individually; No need to dress the complete grinding wheel Visual feedback about the dressing process in 3D simulation and wheel profile view 14

15 Eccentric neck in operation wizard Additional operation for pre-forming the blank Can be used as cylindrical or as eccentric move Balancing flat 15

16 New abilities in drills Improvements to K-Land on drill point K-Land on drill points in separate passes Possibility to configure probing and grinding moves of K-Land on drills in segments Retract between segments K-Land probing every n tool To save time only every n th tool is probed. Part counter is displayed in main page of IDN Reset of part counter via menu tools 16

17 Form E with Radius Gash Radius gash for drill type Form E is available now Gash type for Form E can be selected in wizard Gash Straight Outer (cutting edge correction) can be selected optionally 17

18 Faceted clearance to standard point Extra facet can be added to standard point via wizard Realized as facet point clearance secondary Separate cone orientation angle for standard point Cone orientation angle Cone orientation angle is oriented with radial angle A by default. With separated cone orientation angle A the cone can be oriented individually Use case for separated cone orientation angle: Big point angle ( > 160 ) 18

19 Definition of rake angle in different plane Rake Angle of fluting operation Normally the rake angle of a fluting operation is defined in cross section view. For drills its also helpful to define rake in point angle projection Picture shows the difference between rake angle in cross section view and rake angle in drill projection Selection of rake plane angle - Rake plane angle can be selected optionally on common tab of fluting operation - It s only available for rake definition Standard Distance ahead of center - For drills the rake angle is often defined as Distance ahead of center. This value is displayed in fluting operation 19

20 Note: Distance ahead of center is an equivalent value for rake angle Centerline distance is an equivalent value for radial angle. Centerline distance (or radial angle) define the radial position of the drill point clearance operation. Do not confound centerline distance to distance ahead of center Use case of above-mentioned issues for drill facet point To get a straight and parallel facet clearance primary configure your IDN as follows: - Select Define Rake At Drill Point Projection in fluting operation an set Rake Plane Angle equal point angle -Set Rake Angle in fluting operation = - Radial Angle of drill facet point primary or set Rake Angle that distance ahead of center = Center line distance of drill facet point primary 20

21 New abilities in Fluting Wheel Profile Calculator (optional) calculates the required wheel profile to produce a cylindrical tool by given flute shape and grinding position of wheel. There are following options: - Definition of cross section via parameters Output of approximated HeliDrill wheel (3 radii) Output of exact wheel shape - Definition of cross section via DXF Output of exact wheel shape Definition of cross section via parameters (J-Shape template) J-Shape (as known from WWM like HeliDrill) is the only implemented template until now. Enter point angle to define J-Shape in point angle projection Definition of cross section via DXF profile Flute shape is defined by DXF file (import of DXF file) 21

22 Setup of grinding technology parameters and wheel profile calculator - Wheel offset angle - Phase angle (position of wheel to steady rest) - Wheel profile extensions Phase angle Wheel profile extensions Calculated wheel profile - HeliDrill wheel or shaped wheel for J-Shape cross section type - Shaped wheel for DXF cross section type Approximated HeliDrill wheel for J-Shape Exact shaped wheel for J-Shape Shaped wheel for DXF shape 22

23 Visualisation of flute deviation - Color-coded mapping of the deviation between the ideal flute profile and profile created by the wheel Summary of wheel profile calculation Define flute shape Set up technology Calculate wheel profile Check flute deviation 23

24 Wheel width calculation depending on flute width Calculates minimal wheel width for fluting operations depending on flute width 24

25 Other New Features and Improvements New wheel types in wheel menu 14D1V Mostly used for heel grind on drills 3FB1 Simplified HeliDrill wheel (radius, straight) 3FE1 Simplified HeliDrill wheel (two radii) Heel grind with shaped wheel or 14D1V wheel Operation heel grind diameter Un-tick parameter Grind Lip Depth with wheel Front 25

26 Plot for Feedrate To visualize the feedrate behavior according to the axis movements for each operation. No recalculation on changing feedrates, cooling states, spindle direction etc. For a faster parameter input and parameter update while calculation is switched on. New Delayed Update Function Simulation update is completely disabled for any parameter update 26
