The North American automotive association AIAG (Automotive Industry Action Group) is publisher of the CQI-19 guideline. The CQI-19 describes product and process approval for sub-suppliers. As a long standing member of the AIAG, TopQM-Systems already specialized early on in the introduction, development and qualification of employees according to the content of CQI-19 and its transfer of knowledge, including methods of „best practice“.
The CQI-19 "product and process approval for sub-suppliers" guideline was developed by the AIAG (Automotive Industry Action Group) to define minimum quality requirements for sub-suppliers. It provides details on the identification and inspection of pass-through characteristics (PTC)
Understanding the file structure is essential. Hypermill utilizes a proprietary system often referred to as the .
: If a toolpath (like a continuous 5-axis spiral) exceeds the machine's rotary axis limits, the Optimizer automatically breaks the path and inserts a "rewind" movement.
A recommended learning path, especially for the complexities of multi-axis post development, includes first gaining hands-on experience with 5-axis machine operation (200+ hours) and 3-axis hyperMILL programming (100+ hours), followed by systematic study of the post processor customization framework. Hypermill Post Processor
: Works alongside machine simulations to prevent costly crashes by recognizing physical machine limits.
If you need to "produce" or set up a post processor for a specific part: Understanding the file structure is essential
How many (3-axis, 4-axis, or 5-axis) does the machine utilize?
By generating the actual G-code during the simulation phase, hyperMILL allows users to visualize the precise physical movements of the machine tool based on the final code. This eliminates discrepancies between the CAM display and the actual machine behavior, providing 100% confidence during lights-out manufacturing. Key Components of Post Processor Optimization A recommended learning path, especially for the complexities
Do not cut metal until the "Back Plot" matches the "Hypermill Simulation" pixel for pixel.
