High Speed Milling
HSM Milling: Dynamic and Ultra-Precise High-End Machining
High-Speed Machining — or HSM milling — is one of the most advanced techniques in modern CNC machining. At Tumag, this technology plays a key role in our precision manufacturing. With many years of expertise and a cutting-edge machine park, we produce complex components that meet the highest standards in accuracy, surface quality and process stability.
What is High-Speed Machining? The difference from conventional milling
Conventional milling uses lower spindle speeds and thicker chips. HSM milling takes the opposite approach:
- very high spindle speeds,
- higher feed rates
- significantly smaller chip thickness
This results in lower cutting forces, improved heat evacuation through the chip and greater process control — all crucial for high-precision machining.
De lagere snijkrachten zorgen ervoor dat het gereedschap minder wordt belast en dat de warmte beter via de spaan wordt afgevoerd in plaats van in het werkstuk terecht te komen. Hierdoor blijven zowel het gereedschap als het materiaal in optimale conditie tijdens de bewerking, wat directe voordelen oplevert voor nauwkeurigheid en levensduur.
Benefits of HSM Milling for high-precision components
HSM frezen biedt een reeks voordelen die bij conventioneel frezen nauwelijks haalbaar zijn. Enkele belangrijke voordelen:
- Superior surface quality
High spindle speeds combined with fine chip removal produce extremely smooth surfaces.
- Exceptional dimensional accuracy
Low heat transfer to the workpiece prevents deformation and ensures stable tolerances.
- Ideal for thin-walled and delicate structures
Reduced cutting forces significantly minimise vibrations, allowing precise machining of fragile geometries.
- Increased productivity
Higher feed rates and faster cycle times lead to efficient production without compromising quality.
