SPRING Technologies will demonstrate its NCSIMUL Machine 9 NC simulation software at WESTEC 2013.
NCSIMUL Machine 9 NC simulation is designed to be realistic, intuitive, integrated and mobile with extended features dedicated to multi-axis and multitasking machining centers, according to the company. Further, the software package has been developed to interconnect with other company-wide software systems, such as MRP, ERP and MES.
"This is the first time we are demonstrating NCSIMUL Machine 9 to western U.S. manufacturers. The latest version is much more than simply previewing toolpaths to avoid crashes," said Silvère Proisy, U.S. General Manager. "It offers users a unique experience where CNC realistic simulation, integrating all machine, tools and material parameters, becomes a day-to-day part of a manufacturer's lifestyle. More than 200 improvements have been implemented based on extensive customer surveys."
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 or replay NC simulations. 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 results in the 3D view. In addition, the newest 3D functional dimensioning module, particularly geared to sub-contractors, enables users to add 3D graphics to workpieces and create a document describing the list of dimensions that need checking at each machining stage.
