5Axis Machine Cutting HELMET / DAISHIN SEIKI CORPORATION

5,000,000回分の感謝！
2008年、私たちは5軸加工機の導入をきっかけに5軸加工の限界に挑戦しようと動き始めた。5軸加工機はクランプ個所以外が全て加工出来るので、ほぼ球体が加工出来る事になる。
マシンのφ500mmテーブル上で出来る球体に近いサンプルとして辿り着いた答えが、「１/１ヘルメット」プロジェクトだった。究極の5軸加工サンプルを作るためには、当たり前だが機械はプログラム通り精度よく削れる事だ。
しかし当時の5軸機はまだまだ発展途上が多い中でそれを実現させてくれたドイツ製のDMGのマシンだった。
そして優秀なマシンに指令を出すCAMシステムは限界に挑戦するエンジニアスピリッツを後押ししてくれるCAMシステムが不可欠だった。
オープンマインド社、hyperMILLの存在は今では私たちの5軸加工に無くてはならない存在だが、10年以上前から独自のアルゴリズムに圧倒的な干渉回避能力と、操作性が良い上に使い込むと本当に奥が深い。私たちの技術探求への熱い想いをHyperMILLは間違いなく加速させてくれました。
この度500万回再生という機械加工動画としては圧倒的な数字は、大槇精機エンジニア達とDMGMORIとhyperMILLのコラボが生み出した技術の証明だと思います。
2009年に作られた「1/1ヘルメット」と動画は、当時の学びと努力の結晶が色あせることなく5軸加工の象徴として輝き続けている事を本当に有難く思います。
10年以上の月日と共に私たちも成長し、重要なパートナーであるDMGMORIとhyperMILLも進化し続けています。「モノづくり」の世界は加速度的に変化をしていますが、もはやファミリーとも言える関係は変わることなく未来へ歩み続けます。
改めて、この動画を見てくれた世界中の方に感謝を申し上げます。
ありがとう御座いました。これからも宜しくお願いします。

Thank you for 5,000,000 views!
In 2008, we started to push the limits of 5-axis machining with the introduction of a 5-axis machine. 5-axis machines can machine everything except the clamping points, which means that they can machine almost any sphere.
The answer to this question was the "1/1 helmet" project, which was the answer to the question of what kind of spherical sample could be produced on the φ500mm table of the machine. In order to make the ultimate 5-axis machining sample, the machine must be able to cut accurately according to the program, as a matter of course. In order to make the ultimate 5-axis machining sample, it was obvious that the machine had to be the one that would be used for the machining of the helmet, but at the time, many 5-axis machines were still in their infancy, and it was the German-made DMG machine that made it possible.
It was essential to have a CAM system that would encourage the spirit of engineers to challenge the limits.
OpenMind and hyperMILL are now indispensable to our 5-axis machining, but for more than 10 years they have been providing us with unique algorithms, overwhelming interference avoidance capabilities, and ease of use that is truly profound once you get into it. HyperMILL has definitely accelerated our passion for technological exploration. The overwhelming number of 5 million views for a machining video is proof of the technology created by the collaboration of Daishin Seiki engineers, DMGMORI, and hyperMILL. I am truly grateful that the "1/1 helmet" and the video created in 2009, the fruit of our learning and efforts at that time, have not faded and continue to shine as a symbol of 5-axis machining. As we have grown over the past 10 years, our key partners, DMGMORI and hyperMILL, have also continued to evolve. "The world of manufacturing is changing at an accelerated pace, but the relationship that can now be called a family will not change and will continue into the future.
Once again, I would like to thank everyone around the world who has watched this video.
Thank you very much. Thank you for your continued support.

Next level. Im a manual machinist and this blows my mind everytime I watch it.

[res]

the code for this must be fucking insane

[dolcei]

The first material is 120kg. It is 3.6kg at the time of completion.
Thank you for the comment.

[KristofferEngdahl]

Man that is insane. I am blown away with the shear precision of this machine

[kimremyholtet]

Even though I am to become a electro engeer, and has been an electrician before I started studying, I am really impressed. I worked in the indusrty, and have seen a lot of nice work and crazy engineering. But this is one of the best so far.

[joshmorales]

I couldn't even imagine the cycle time on this, and I'm amazed how beautiful the finish is cause it didn't look like there was coolant running on those tools

[Tops]

I've been working as a cam programmer for many years, and this video still fascinates me. I wish I could try something like this at work sometime. It is one of my lifelong dreams

[ShunkLunkable]

Vector milling is so dope. I wish we used it in programs at my shop (have 5 axis machines) but it was deemed too difficult for the average mouthbreather operator and only a few of us could figure out how to adjust offsets and fix parts

[VC-idho]

the best I've seen in my 15 years in the field! this is amazing!

[CabhanListis]

Sci-fi movie makers are going to have to make their story techs more fantastic to keep up with current advances. Those flicks will inevitably get weirder and more magical.

[itsmesuryat]

Meanwhile, milling a camera bump on a glass block, is claimed to be a feat of technological achievement by apple.

[shwerpwer]

Anyone else noticing the obligatory generic techno music theme for all these machine cutting videos?

[hms]

As someone who actually works in this field, it's fascinating to watch the process!

[davidringer]

That is one bad ass machine. I wish we would get one in our shop!

[Hmmerfall]

To think only some 300 years ago we were still using a hammer and forge... Mind boggling 

[AxxonJaxxon]

This is an amazing piece of technology. All the intricacies are mind blowing. I mean, I've seen a 5 axis CNC machine cut some pretty tough parts but nothing near this intense. I'm not gonna lie..I'm impressed.

[BoggyCreekFilms]

This is incredible, I want one to decorate my living room!

[ActiveAtom]

5 axis rocks you can really make most anything stronger then most any other method dollar for dollar. What a great example even though the video is many years older now you cannot get tired of seeing this helmet being made what a great biker cyclist trophy that would make.

[dolcei]

The software is hyperMILL. The clearance of the product is 0.5mm.
Thank you for comment!

[nobody-yrpw]

I have a headache just thinking about how long that program was, and how long it took to key.
