ICTM Aachen – International Center for Turbomachinery ManufacturingProductive Machines specialises in autonomous toolpath optimization, enhancing quality and productivity in the machining industry. Our solution integrates seamlessly with existing CAM environments, automating machining set up and simplifying workflows for machine operators, application engineers, and CAM programmers.
Productive Machines effectively mitigates chatter vibrations, reduces tool wear, and improves surface finish. Traditional manufacturing methods require extensive engineering efforts for optimizing complex five-axis milling processes with numerous toolpaths.
SenseNC Finesse, our advanced optimization plugin, connects CAM systems to supercomputing resources, simulating millions of machining parameters using cutting-edge physics modeling. This ensures precise feed and speed optimization, leading to significant efficiency gains.
As experts in machining dynamics, we leverage high-performance algorithms in a supercomputing environment to deliver optimal feeds and speeds across intricate toolpaths. The result: smoother operations, reduced cycle times, and superior surface quality.
Founded in 2021 as a spin-out from the University of Sheffield’s AMRC, Productive Machines pioneers new methodologies to enhance process quality, productivity, and sustainability in manufacturing.
Our mission is to maximise machine tool productivity, empowering machinists to achieve the best results, faster, on the first attempt – while reducing material waste, energy consumption, and equipment wear.
