High-Speed Machining

The High-Speed Machining option is apowerful tool to reduce cycle times and improve accuracy. Testing on complex 3- to 5-axis applications has shown drastic reductions in cycle times, as well as increased accuracy and smoother motion.Using a motion algorithm called“acceleration before interpolation,” combined with 80 blocks of look-ahead, the HSM option allows contouring feedrates up to 833 ipm without risk of distortion to the programmed path. Programmed motions are accelerated before interpolation to ensure that the movement of each axis does not exceed the acceleration capability of the machine. The look-ahead algorithm determines the fastest feedrate at which each stroke can be blended into the next without stopping, which results in higher accuracy, smoother motion and a higher actual feedrate – even with complex part geometry.The Haas HSM option accepts ISOstandard G code from all major CAM systems, and is only a fraction of the cost ofother high-speed controls.
