CNC simulation

Modern Applications News, August, 2008

Vericut 6.2 CNC machine simulation and optimization software features enhancements that increase the ability of manufacturing engineers to develop, analyze, inspect, and document the CNC programming and machining process, according to the manufacturer. It is CNC machine simulation, verification, and optimization software that lets users eliminate manually proving-out NC programs. The program also optimizes NC programs, and simulates all types of CNC machine tools, including those from leading manufacturers such as Mazak, Makino, Matsuura, Hermle, DMG, DIXI, Mori Seiki, and Chiron. The software runs standalone, but can also be integrated with leading CAM systems such as Catia V5, Unigraphics, Pro/E, MasterCAM, EdgeCAM, and GibbsCAM. The "NCProgram Preview" offers an option to process an NC program without simulating material being removed. This "quick check" uses much less memory. When in preview mode, the software displays a tool trace of the NC program over the design model. The Preview checks for collisions, gouges, minimum excess, and instances where axis limits are exceeded. CGTech, Booth D-3035
