The first time you run an Aerotech System you realize, this is no ordinary tool. Aside from it's appearance, the Aerotech System provides Dust Free Nesting & Routing by removing dust at the point of cut. As a result the load on your machine will substantially lower, but more importantly you will realize your tool holder is now acting similar to a vacuum. Small pieces of debris may become active and move around, not that this is a problem but it does take a few path optimizations to eliminate.
As for the reduction in load generated by the cutting tool, you will use less power and cut longer as your cutting edge's life is extended. There are ways to further improve your cut quality, feed rates and dust extraction; all of which are reasons why it is important to identify your ideal operating parameters
(Sweet Spot) and to maximize your cutting path.
It isn't so much training as it is education. Along with your first purchase, your tooling sales & applications representative will help you identify your optimal;
- Variable Tool Parameters
- Zero-point
- RPM
- Feed rate
- Variable Programming Parameters
- Path direction (convention/unconventional cut)
- Parallel cutting path distances
- Debris removal through path adjustment
Understanding ‘best practices’ of operating the Aerotech System will help you achieve your tool’s maximum performance.
