Advantages of High Acceleration
| High Average Feedrate | High Accuracy | Low Tool Wear |
 |
 |
 |
| Faster Machining Times | Improved Quality | Lower Tool Costs |
Acceleration Differences Between Conventional Milling & High Speed Milling
Hard milling of an injection mold cavity for screw driver handle
 |
Ex. Influence of acceleration and the machining parameters on tool life and machining time of the cavity. Material : 1.2344 HRC 52-54 Required operations:7 Machines: HSM Machine - 1G acceleration | Conventional machine - 0.2-0.3 G acceleration |
Run Time Comparison Between 1G Acceleration (HSM) & .25G Acceleration (Conventional Milling)
 |
|
Using same technology (speed ,feed, tool and NC-Program)
The machining time is cut into half when high speed machining
Pre finishing and finishing operation, with lots of direction changes and very fine stepovers (Ra 0.6) are the main reason of the time saving |
