CNC grinding machines ANCA’s grinding machines can be used to make endmills and tooling, including specially made burrs, inserts and cutters.
What’s new? Upgrades to the design software that’s supplied on the machines. ToolRoom RN34 can be used by mold and tooling makers to custom-manufacture complex endmills or other parts with complicated geometries. New machines come with the software updates; upgrades also are available for older machines, though, in some cases, they may require hardware upgrades as well.
Benefits Better designed endmills that cut down on machining time and vibration, and improve the surface finish of the molds and tooling they’re used to create. With the software, mold makers can make special vibration- and fracture-resistant ballnoses, as well as new chisel edges.
