Open Mind to present latest version of hyperMILL at EMO

Bicester-based Open Mind will be focussing on turning, milling and the importance of CAM software and MES in connected manufacturing environments at EMO Hannover 2023 which is taking place 18-23 September 2023 (Hall 9, Stand A05). The CAD/CAM manufacturer is taking its largest-ever stand at the exhibition (150m²) and visitors will get the chance to learn everything there is to know about the hyperMILL CAD/CAM suite.

Live demonstrations will take place on the stand on a GROB G350T mill/turn machine to display what the milling/turning technologies of hyperMILL Turning Solutions can do, including milling, drilling and angle head support, as well as how to use a ‘virtual machine’ to simulate the machining of finished NC code. hyperMILL Turning Solutions include technologies for turning, turn/milling and mill/turning, meaning they can be used for all corresponding machine configurations. Last but not least, Open Mind’s demonstrations will also feature automation solutions to help make creating error-free NC programs simpler and faster.

Vital building block
Open Mind has been positioning hyperMILL as a vital building block in the digitalisation of process chains since the acquisition of MES manufacturer Hummingbird in early 2022. Connected manufacturing will also be on the agenda at EMO — under the motto ‘Create the future of manufacturing together’ — to highlight the important role of the CAM system in a connected manufacturing environment.

Furthermore, there will be a large number of show parts on its stand to help visitors truly understand what optimised machining looks like. The examples of industries in which hyperMILL is particularly valued will range from tool and mould-making to aerospace and medical technology. There will also be components from the semiconductor industry on display which have to meet particularly high requirements in terms of dimensional accuracy and surface quality.

Open Mind will also take part in the Nachwuchsstiftung Maschinenbau’s special education show as a cooperation partner. This will be held in Hall 8 at EMO. The show is expected to attract over 3,500 students and around 1,500 trainers and teachers have been invited to attend. The next generation of engineers will have the opportunity to get a first-hand look at the hyperMILL CAM system and understand its practical importance within the process chain.
