High speed machining High speed and accuracy of complex surfaces machining are the most known and appreciated features of Fidia CNC Numerical Controls. Years of rigorous and close collaboration with top End Users and Machine Tools Builder has allowed Fidia to be on the leading edge in CNC’s technology of complex surface milling. Velocity 5™ is a further significant step in speed and quality improvement. It is available on the full current range of Fidia numerical controls and can be installed as retrofitting on many of those already operating

Fidia introduces Velocity 5™, a new technique for axes control, that significantly improves the performances of the machine, in 3 axes as well as in 5 axes machining. With Velocity 5™ the tool path processing is based on new algorithms, that enhance the dynamic behaviour of the machine and ensure a better finishing and smoother surfaces, even when the tool path is slightly uneven. With V5 Velocity How to improve surface quality reducing milling time Whatever the operation is, roughing, semi-finishing or finishing, the benefits are substantial: r eduction of milling time execution on 3D...

Velocity 5™ on Droop und Rein FOGS 1840 Application 5 axes machining of steel test parts

Conclusions The specific critical characteristics of the selected applications gave evidence of an improved surface quality with a slightly progress in time performance (6 to 7% exploiting DYNA parameter potential). Nevertheless, the innovation brought by Velocity 5™ at a global CNC performance level allows to work with higher machining parameters (Feed=8000 and Spindle=7500), achieving time savings in the order of 37% as shown for Part 2 program execution, which can be extended to the entire machining program.
