Software Eases Milling of Gears, Splines
Sandvik Coromant’s InvoMilling 1.0 software enables flexible manufacturing of gears and splines on universal five-axis machining centers.
Sandvik Coromant’s InvoMilling 1.0 software enables flexible manufacturing of gears and splines on universal five-axis machining centers. Developed by Sandvik Coromant and Euklid, the CAM software generates CNC programs to produce different gear profiles with a limited range of standard-stock precision tools. The software includes milling path generation and simulation functionality. According to Sandvik Coromant, when combined with its CoroMill 161 and 162 cutters, the InvoMilling software enables shorter lead times for production of gears and splines. The method is suitable for machining small- and medium-sized batches.
