The TrueMill Challenge

Surfware’s new patent-pending toolpath
“This is a quantum leap engine, TrueMill™, provides dramatic
in CAM technology” reductions in cycle time by dynamically
Bruce Thomas, Production Manager, managing tool loads. Using the superior
RPM-PSI, Inc. motion control of CNC machine tools,
TrueMill precisely controls the tool’s
engagement with the material to facilitate
deep depths-of-cut and large stepovers. Only
available in SURFCAM Velocity™, TrueMill
technology redefines high speed machining.

High Speed Machining Redefined:

As seen at Northridge, CA

The Challenge: Material: 8” x 8¾” x 1½“ (20.3cm x

22.2cm x 3.8cm) 6061 aluminum billet
Elevation Drive Turntable Tools used: shear hog face mill, 90°
for Tactical Automatic spot drill, #36, #7, 7/32” drills and

SPINDLE SPEED 12,000 RPM 12,000 RPM

FEED RATE 175 IPM (4,445 mm/min) 650 IPM (16,510 mm/min)
DEPTH-OF-CUT .200” (5.08 mm) .600” (15.24 mm)
STEPOVER .220” (5.59 mm) .375” (9.53 mm)
DEGREES OF ENGAGEMENT 83.1- 180° 120°
MATERIAL REMOVED 47.32 in³ (775.44 cm³) 47.32 in³ (775.44 cm³) TrueMill provided a 38%
reduction in overall cycle time
CYCLE TIME 44 minutes 43 seconds 27 minutes 55 seconds

Roughing time was reduced
by 83 % . With traditional
programming, pocketing
cycle time was 17 minutes 11
seconds versus only 2 minutes
54 seconds using TrueMill.
TrueMill Reference performs
superior corner picking which
better prepares the part for
finishing.
By providing a constant
load on the cutting tool,
TrueMill’s optimal toolpaths
also significantly extend both
machine and tool life.
SURFCAM Velocity, powered
byTrueMill, unlocks the previously
untapped capabilities of any
CNC.
