Our NC-simulation CNC-3D Turning for lathes with complex multi-axis milling and turning operations provides:

• a complete NC-program analysis,
• exact 3D-collision detection,
• dynamic material removal verification,
• secure and optimal NC-programming.

All 3D-machine components can be configured by the user to ensure close to reality machine simulation.

Target group

• NC-Machine Tool Builder of all metal-cutting technologies
• NC-Controller Maker for integration into their controls
• CAD/CAM-System-supplier and -user

Features

• Realistic 3D-representation of the machine tool workspace
• Exact 3D-collision detection
• Dynamic 3D-visualization of cutting process
• Detection of incorrect machine setup data and tool paths
• Optimization of NC-programs

Benefits

• Avoidance of tool crashes and machine damages
• Reduction of setup and prove-out time for NC-programs
• Reduction of processing time of NC-programs
• Optimization of technological parameters

Fields of application

• NC-controls: reduction of the NC-program setup and minimization of the total process time
• CAD/CAM-systems: verification of the generated tool paths
• Education: visualization and simulation of  NC-program processing

System features

• Realistic 3D machine tool model
  The open 3D interface enables you to replicate all machine components close to reality. Geometries defined via external CAD programs can be imported.
• Accurate 3D collision detection
  The used algorithms allow fast and precise collision detection for arbitrary moving and variable objects, considering all machine components. Collision with neighboring tools during tool change, but also time-critical collisions for two-turret-machines, are reliably detected.
• Windows user interface
  The graphical windows user interface in compliance with common software standards guarantees easy and intuitive operation.
• Support of graphic standard OpenGL
  By supporting the graphic standard OpenGL you profit directly from modern 3D acceleration cards.
