Multi-channel for complex CNC lathes

hyperMILL PROTURN

In modern turning, it is no longer the individual tool path that determines success or failure – but complete mastery of the machine process.


Complex CNC lathes with counter spindles, multiple turrets and synchronized channels quickly push classic CAM workflows to their limits.
This is exactly where hyperMILL PROTURN comes in.

Highlights

With hyperMILL PROTURN, we are expanding hyperMILL Turning Solutions with a process-oriented multi-channel and NC simulation environment for complex turning and turn-mill centers. PROTURN is aimed at users who need to map the real machine: multiple channels, spindles, turrets, driven tools, transfers and synchronizations in one integrated system.

More power

hyperMILL generates powerful turning and milling strategies. PROTURN takes these strategies one step further: machine logic, channel control and complete NC code simulation become a common working environment.

It’s not just the tool path that counts – but the complete process on the real machine.
This creates a closed workflow from programming to production. Programs are no longer just created, but built, synchronized, checked and optimized as a complete machine process. This reduces risks, shortens run-in times and prevents expensive downtimes.

Focus on the machine

hyperMILL PROTURN is the link between CAM programming and real production. Based on hyperMILL Turning, PROTURN extends the system with structured multi-channel logic, machine-oriented models and a complete NC code simulation for CNC turning.

The focus here is on lathes and turn-mill centers with multiple spindles, turrets and peripherals. PROTURN does not map these machines in a simplified way, but of course according to the real equipment – including kinematics, channels, transfers, synchronizations and auxiliary functions.

Focus on the machine

With hyperMILL PROTURN, programming is no longer just geometry-oriented, but process-oriented. Channel dependencies, waiting positions, transfers, auxiliary times and safety movements become visible, verifiable and optimizable – and all this before the NC program reaches the machine.

Clear result

Fewer run-in parts, higher machine utilization and stable, reproducible manufacturing processes. hyperMILL PROTURN thus becomes the central platform for anyone who wants to control multitasking machines easily and efficiently.

The logical extension for complex lathes

Multi-channel support

Structured synchronization of multiple channels, spindles and turrets in a uniform, consistent environment.

Machine-oriented NC simulation

Validation of the real NC code on the basis of a digital machine twin – including complete machine peripherals.

Maximum process reliability

Collision avoidance, sequence check and logical verification of all movements before the first chip.

Measurable productivity gains

Shorter run-in times, fewer machine downtimes and reproducible, stable production processes.

Frequently asked questions!

What is the difference between hyperMILL Turning and hyperMILL PROTURN?

hyperMILL Turning generates toolpaths. hyperMILL PROTURN extends these toolpaths with multi-channel logic, real machine mapping and complete NC process simulation. The focus shifts from the toolpath to the entire machine sequence.

Which machines is PROTURN designed for?

PROTURN is designed for complex CNC lathes and turn-mill centers with counter spindles, multiple turrets, driven tools and synchronized channels.

Is PROTURN an independent product?

No. PROTURN is a modular extension package based on hyperMILL Turning / millTURN.
