The tool changer is controlled by the integrated PLC. The MillPlus assumes the

entire tool management including tool life monitoring, replacement tools and

The MillPlus calculates the optimum values for feed rate and spindle speed for the

• With respect to the path of the tool center

• Reduced feed rate during plunging

• 3-D tool compensation through surface normal vectors

The MillPlus calculates the geometry ahead of time (150 blocks) to adjust the feed rate.

In this way it detects directional changes in time to accelerate or decelerate the

The MillPlus features a special coordinate transformation for controlling swivel heads

and tilting tables. The MillPlus compensates the offsets of the tilting axes and tool

• The offset of the tilting axes are compensated so that the tool point location remains

unchanged with respect to the contour

• Turning cycles: roughing, boring and transverse/longitudinal recessing

• Programming a rotary axis like a spindle

• Constant cutting speed

• Programmable tool orientation
