Holiday Ornament Machining

2021-12
In partnership with OPEN MIND Technologies, GROB will machine a Christmas tree ornament out of a­lu­mi­num on our G150 horizontal spindle ma­chi­ne. Starting from solid round stock we will machine and tab off the entire part to complete the process in one single set up.

Expect to see an abundance of 5‑axis simultaneous machining from high ma­te­ri­al removal to finishing. By combining OPEN MIND’s advanced blending tech­ni­ques and collision avoidance controls, matched with the GROB machine’s uni­que concept we will achieve good sur­face quality in hard to reach areas.

hyperMILL^® VIRTUAL Machining

2021-06
A joint event with HEIDENHAIN and OPEN MIND Technologies USA, Inc. at Manufacturing Lunch & Learn.
Manufacturers face increasing chal­len­ges due to greater part complexity, qua­li­ty and delivery demands, and com­pe­ti­ti­on. A virtual machining capability ex­tends a strong tool path engine to com­ple­te CAM solutions by incorporating kinematics, as well as various con­stra­ints and limitations of the machine tool.

hyperMILL^® VIRTUAL Machining pro­vi­des a perfect synthesis between the virtual and real manufacturing worlds including post­processing, simulation, collision checking and tool path op­ti­mi­za­ti­on. The result is reduced risk and increased productivity to programming and machining processes.

Inspiration through Innovation (ITI)

2021-04
Precision medical manufacturing cus­to­mers need to improve productivity, while maintaining product quality, without in­cre­a­sing the size of the shop floor – often within a high-mix, high-volume environment.

Exploring innovation and flexibility for femoral component manufacture with hyperMILL^®: Flexibility is key as we in­no­va­te femoral component manufacture - especially while we experience a shift toward milling from grinding due to new material technology, additive ma­nu­fac­tu­ring, and personalisation. By le­ve­ra­ging AM technologies combined with milling processes, we reduce con­sum­pti­on, achieve more complex shapes, and print semi-porous structures and finishes that encourage os­seo­inte­gra­ti­on (bone-implant fusion). We invite you to experience the performance of hyperMILL^® in this special de­mon­stra­ti­on.

Deep Cavity & Gun Drill Machining

2021-04
This work­shop presents a collaboration of GROB Systems, OPEN MIND Tech­no­lo­gi­es and EMUGE for the de­mon­stra­ti­on of deep cavity and gun drilling app­li­ca­ti­ons.

During this event, GROB’s 400mm pallet, horizontal 5‑axis machining center, the G350, will demonstrate how difficult deep cavity and gun drilling applications can be made easily with GROB’s unique machine kinematics, OPEN MIND’s state-of-the-art CAM technology, and Emuge’s Circle Segment cutters and FPC milling holders for High-Per­for­mance Finishing.

IMTS spark - Hybrid Machining from a CAM Perspective

2021-03
Sponsored by Okuma: This additive Demo presentations will focus on hyperMILL^® as a complete CAD/CAM system and high­light additive/subtractive processes with Okuma Laser EX technology. OPEN MIND will present how to easily overcome common challenges. The tools offered by the soft­ware – namely stock tracking, collision control, collision check, machine simulation with material build/removal – can support you in your daily tasks.

Machining of a Knee Prosthesis

2021-02
In this work­shop, GROB Systems, in partner­ship with Walter Tools and OPEN MIND, will demonstrate the ma­chi­ning of a knee prosthesis from a stain­less steel blank.
During this demo, GROB’s newest uni­ver­sal 5‑axis machining center, the G150, will mill a knee joint using Walter’s tooling and OPEN MIND's hyperMILL^® CAM soft­ware.

Watch and see how GROB’s unique machine design, in combination with Walter’s tools and OPEN MIND's soft­ware, allow for precise machining with fine surface finishes, even for the most difficult to reach areas.

hyperMILL^® AUTOMATION Center Customer Solution

2021-02
Do you anticipate a programming vo­lu­me that you cannot handle with your CAD/CAM system and with­out auto­ma­ted processes? Or do you need to in­cre­a­se the efficiency of your CAD/CAM programming in order to remain competitive in the future?

With turn-key automation solutions, OPEN MIND offers exactly the right tool to modernize programming pro­ces­ses and establish new, more profitable pro­ces­ses and technologies.

hyperMILL^® AUTOMATION Center Basic

2021-02
Take the first step towards process automation! Have you ever wondered how you can optimize your machining work­flow with­out sacrificing pro­gram­ming efficiency?

Then our webinar is the right place for you! We will show you how you can automate your manufacturing process through standardization, even with the basic version of hyperMILL^® AUTOMATION Center, at no additional cost. Standardization in the CAD/CAM en­vi­ron­ment means that your proven and already optimized manufacturing strategies can be reused through­out the company. This ensures that all CAD/CAM programmers achieve a con­sis­tent­ly good result, there are no un­necessary sources of error.
In this webinar, you will learn how to standardize and automate simple pro­ces­ses so that they can be used for more complex processes in the future.
