NCSIMUL Machine 9 is designed to provide a realistic graphical representation of the machining process and other NCSIMUL outputs right at the machine tool.
SPRING Technologies offers mobile functionality in its latest release, NCSIMUL Machine 9, running on Windows 8 Pro and INTEL certified. Now operators can access a realistic graphical representation of the machining process and other relevant data, in real time, right next to the machine.
"In many cases, it is impossible to see what is happening at the tool-workpiece interface," said Silver Proisy, U.S. General Manager for SPRING. "The doors are closed and high-pressure coolant is splashing in the cabinet interior. With NCSIMUL 9, customers can head out onto the shop floor with their touch screen tablet PC equipped with Windows 8 and SPRING's NC Player (NC simulation viewer), and access all of the program's features including cutting tool libraries, current cutting conditions, simulation, other part programs and all the relevant published documentation."
SPRING is a Microsoft-certified Gold partner and an INTEL Software Partner. As such, NCSIMUL Machine 9 incorporates new ribbon technology navigation, enabling users to work more efficiently. Tasks are now accessed via tabs that break down into tasks and sub-tasks. The new interface has been specifically designed to work on touch screen devices to facilitate mobility. The intuitive and context-sensitive icons are presented as a rapid access bar and intended to boost programming productivity.
The NCSIMUL Machine Hub apps enable users to browse any shared jobs available on the enterprise network or replay NC simulations with one click. Flexible project-based management, tree organization, project/article/sub-article, jobs copied between projects, simplified search mechanism and job templates are among the new features in NCSIMUL Machine 9.
Also, the software makes full use of Intel's multi-core processors and multithreading. Collision detection and material removal calculations are performed simultaneously. Algorithms have been revised and optimized to support ISO decoding, probing, material removal with tools in 3D and optimized cutting conditions.
NCSIMUL Machine 9 also provides new interactive programming features that automate G-code generation from 3D motions or allow dynamic editing of the NC program to see the consequences in the 3D view. In addition, the newest 3D functional dimensioning module, particularly geared to sub-contractors, enable users to add 3D graphics to workpieces and create a document describing the list of dimensions that need checking at each machining stage.
