At OneCNC we are receiving may reports from users that they are saving huge amounts of time since moving to OneCNC. Many reports of saving 40% or more are being received from a large cross section of users.

The key reason for this major productivity boost is the new HS tool paths that are available in this new OneCNC product.

The advanced ability of OneCNC allows users to implement constant maximum depths and step tool engagement with the material. OneCNC has the control now for constant maximum settings allowing the cut to be optimized to suit the material and the machine.

Constant material removal is the key to machining efficiency OneCNC HS tool paths.

A simple explanation of why OneCNC is so efficient at metal removal is explained with this example. This first example is an open type part.

Here you can see the centre line of the toolpath generated to show the large depths of cut efficiently removing the material in the initial roughing.



Here is a simulation of the material removed from the maximum depths of cut. As you can see this method would normally leave too much material to be removed in finishing cuts and would require semi-finishing cuts to be performed.



This shows the reduced depths technology turned on to remove the steps all in the same roughing function. This only removes the steps and therefore does not use wasted movements. This method allows large depths to be used then step reduced without leaving excess material for finishing.



Here you will see how each roughing cut is performed with a maximum depth of cut then the step reduction is used to remove the material of the large steps. automatically



This shows the completion of the step reduction.



You will notice that the tool path is so efficient 3D arc-like moves are incorporated for entry and exit movements which are shown in this enlarged image.



And here is an example how OneCNC maintains constant engagement amount of the toolpath. The blue lines represent the high feed return movements.

Another major time saving feature of OneCNC is the automated rest machining that allows the user to machine parts with the largest tool even if it does not fit into all areas then use a smaller tool to complete the machining. This example is a closed pocket type part.



And this is an example how OneCNC deals with the HS rest machining using a smaller tool to complete the job.



Those examples although simple parts explain in brief some of the advantages of OneCNC.
