It is fully integrated into Siemens NX CAM. It&#8217;s built on more than two decades of machining dynamics research and applications,\u00a0 leveraging cloud-based high-performance computing to automatically optimize feed rates and spindle speeds based on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cutting forces<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tool stress limits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Machine-specific torque and power<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Material properties<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chatter vibrations<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The result?

The results spoke for themselves:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SenseNC Feeds achieved a 25% Increase in productivity by optimizing feed rates throughout the toolpath\u2014not with guesswork, but through a deep physics-based optimization tailored to the specific part, material, and machine tool.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Erdem Ozturk, Founder and CEO of Productive Machines, will share the details in his talk:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\uddd3\ufe0f <strong>Session<\/strong>: <em>Autonomous CAM Toolpath Optimization with NX CAM<\/em><em><br><\/em> \ud83d\udccd <strong>Location<\/strong>: Room 330 A, Huntington Place, Detroit<br>\ud83d\udd52 <strong>Time<\/strong>: Wednesday, June 4, 11:15\u201311:45 AM (GMT-4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join us to hear how we unlocked these gains and how you can too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why SenseNC Matters Now<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Industries like aerospace, automotive, and medical are under pressure to deliver high-quality components faster and more cost-effectively\u2014while facing a widening skills gap.
