SPRING Technologies, vendor of software that optimizes the use of NC Machines, announced the southeastern U.S. launch of NCSIMUL CAM at SOUTH-TEC on October 27-29 in Charlotte, NC. SPRING is demonstrating its suite of software products in booth 1735. "The company's new product delivers agile and native CNC programming to streamline the current serial and iterative CAM process and provides unparalleled flexibility on the shop floor," said a company spokesperson.
Due to "hybrid programming" capability, NCSIMUL CAM allows work on existing G-Code based programs as well as CAM data inputs and enables CNC programmers to redesign a new manufacturing process in few clicks. Coupled with "on-the-fly" native CNC code generation capability, self-verifying and self-optimizing, NCSIMUL CAM allows to reprogram a new target CNC machine in one click, whatever the CNC machine complexity is.
NCSIMUL CAM directly generates verified and optimized CNC programs, while factoring in the physical resources available on the shop floor, including tools, cutting conditions, kinematics and machine controllers.
With this new solution, CAM data (APT neutral file / CL-data) and existing CNC programs can be used easily to generate a valid new CNC program in just a few clicks for another machine using different kinematics and controller. This will enable manufacturers to quickly adapt existing programs to new resources when retrofitting a machine, buying a new one or when a machining process is repurposed. "With a conventional CAM process (CAM-Post-Processor-Machining Simulation), this task could take hours, even days. With NCSIMUL CAM, these times are slashed to minutes," said the spokesperson.
Likewise, if the target machine initially planned for the CAM program is no longer available for maintenance reasons or is already being used to meet production, it will take just one click with NCSIMUL CAM to switch programming to another machine - whatever its complexity (3X to 5X, 5X to 4X), the type of kinematics (tilting head to table-on-table for instance) or the type of controller (FANUC, Siemens, Heidenhain).
