HFT

The revolutionary Swarf Control Software HFT (High Frequency Turning) from Star Micronics is the ideal addition to increase machine efficiency on difficult-to-chip materials. The software enables intermittent cutting on any linear axis which breaks up "stringy" swarf into more manageable, smaller chips.
It's suitable for a range of machining techniques including Z-axis, X-axis, Y-axis, taper, arc and drilling - and can be easily enabled or disabled.

HFT can be used e.g. for any rough or finish turning operation in the Z+ or Z- direction and can also be used on both the main- and subspindles simultaniously.
The software is compatible with all machines in our current range and the majority of our previous generation models. HFT is the only software of its type which can be retrofitted, allowing new and existing customers to benefit from our revolutionary chip-breaking technology.
