ANCA Tool Grinding Software Achieves 35% Faster Cycle Times
ANCA presents the latest iteration of ToolRoom RN35, offering feedrate optimization, airtime reduction and enhanced surface finish for cutting tool manufacturers.
ANCA, a global leader in CNC tool grinding technology, presents the latest iteration of ToolRoom RN35, an advanced and intelligent release of its flexible tool design and grinding software. Developed for cutting tool manufacturers seeking to drive productivity, precision and profitability, ToolRoom RN35 and subsequent updates deliver an average of 35% faster cycle times through feedrate optimization, airtime reduction, faster digitizing operations including Auto Tool Measurement for regrinding markets, improved surface finish and simplified programming - all while maintaining ANCA’s tool quality.
New software features offer technical innovations that streamline production workflows and elevate output. A simplified, operator-friendly interface with automation and real-time in-process measurements helps increase productivity to cut costs without cutting corners, reduce cycle time and lower cost per piece.
The new Grind Point Velocity feedrate is purpose-built software that maintains a constant velocity precisely where the grinding point contacts the workpiece. Using intelligent kinematic control to dynamically adjust machine axis speeds in real time ensures a stable feed at the point of contact.
