Sustainable manufacturing with HEIDENHAIN controls: <br>67% energy savings per part with OCM
Strengthen your sustainability with Optimized Contour Milling (OCM), the next generation of trochoidal milling for HEIDENHAIN controls. Based on your chosen contours, along with values from OCM’s cutting data calculator, your control automatically finds the best trochoidal milling strategy for all pockets and islands. OCM not only maximizes process reliability but also saves time and energy during its roughing, finishing and intelligent deburring cycles. Up to 67% per part depending on the operation.
