Machine simulation

NCSIMUL is a complete machining simulation software for debugging, optimising and running machining programs for NC (numerical control) machine tools.

NCSIMUL’s problem-solving capability significantly boosts the cost-effectiveness of the NC environment, including not only programming, but also tooling selection, clamping methods, tools and attachments, machine-tools and the time devoted to the NC process by all the people involved.

NCSIMUL

reads and decodes the machining programsused by the machine-tool controller, displays them and enables changes to be made where necessary via a powerful graphic editor,
simulates the machine-tool motion taking into account its characteristics (dimensions, axes, ranges, compensations, controller type) and the machining program,
simulates material removal from the rough stock, and performs a detailed check of the resulting part dimensions, computes the cross-sections, and compares the finished part with the theoretical CAD model,
optimises cutting conditions based on tool/material combinations and instant machining conditions (plunge, grooving, chip size, authorised power, etc.),
edits toolpaths by providing sophisticated functions such as the insertion or deletion of NC blocks, the rewriting of ISO programs (translator), etc..

CASE STUDY

Kusters & Bosch, in Mierlo, The Netherlands, producer of mechanical parts, has started the first simulation at the beginning of 2005: “We already had basic simulation functionality from the CAD/CAM-solution hyperMILL, but now it is now extended to the full NCSIMUL simulation environment of the machine. After putting in all the necessary information like pallets, tools, holders and clamping devices we can now predict exactly what will happen in the production of our parts. Therefore we are able to produce much faster and more reliable. As an important chain in the complete production process, with NCSIMUL we are able to work more efficient which is nessacary in a strong competitive market.”
